I also want peace as soon as possible, and the Ukrainians more than anyone else, but what kind of peace? With an occupied country deprived of its freedoms? That is why we must continue to support Ukraine. My interview with @MariaTad

Important exchange today with EU Military Committee in format of 27 Chiefs of Defence on most important developments in area of security and defence.

No time to spare.

Together with @ThierryBreton, we've convened the whole EU defence #ammunition and missile industry to define the way forward to ramp-up production.

The Schuman Declaration was about more than just building peace among Europeans. It was also about making Europe a driving force for peace in the world.

Let's celebrate #EuropeDay for unity among Europeans and peace in the world.

We also discussed Iran-@iaeaorg cooperation, which gained momentum recently. I stressed that Iran must continue this, end support to Russia’s war against UA, and stop instrumentalising EU nationals.
