We have seen a substantial increase of border crossings from Russia into neighbouring states. This is becoming a security risk.
We therefore agree today with EU Foreign Ministers on Full Suspension of the EU-Russia visa facilitation agreement.

Good to meet @DmytroKuleba in the margins of #Gymnich to exchange on latest developments on the ground and next steps the EU will take in support of Ukraine and to counter Russia‘s brutal aggression.
We continue to stand with #Ukraine, all the way.

We have to continue doing three things:
- support Ukraine
- put pressure on Russia
- address the wider fallout of this war that affects the whole world.
And we will address the issue of visas for Russian citizens.

Mikhail Gorbachev brought with Glasnost and Perestroika a wind of freedom to the Soviet block.
He helped end the Cold War and fundamentally change global security, ushering in an era of mutually beneficial cooperation.
An era that vanished and is urgently needed again.

The EU stands united in support of #Ukraine. As long as needed.
With Member States we agreed to launch the work towards defining parameters for an EU Military Assistance Mission.
Now, we will take work swiftly forward.

At a time when press freedom is under increased pressure, @RFERL work is ever more important.
Discussed with @jamiemfly the courageous work of #RFERL journalists providing independent reporting in over 20 countries, sometimes in dangerous conditions, risking their lives.

At the "Quo Vadis Europa?" seminar last week in Santander, we discussed how the EU can be more effective and make a reality of its aim to be a geopolitical actor. #QuoVadisEuropa

At @forumalpbach, I exchanged with young people from around the world, such as Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Ukraine or Kosovo, about their worries & global challenges & their hopes.
They asked for more EU engagement. We agree: we must shape our future together.

See here in English,my interview with @ORF ZEIT im Bild 2 on EU restrictive measures against Russia and their efficiency, Russia‘s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, neutrality and the agreement reached by Serbia and Kosovo under the EU-facilitated Dialogue.

The EU is only 5% of the world population. We will not be able to build walls high enough to separate ourselves from the world. We will not be the garden in the middle of the jungle.
My message to the young generation is: We need a united Europe - build it!

We Europeans are the luckiest people in the world.
We have achieved incomparable political freedoms, economical prosperity as well as social protection and cohesion.
This is our strongest asset.

The triple crisis: Financial, Energy, Food is going to affect all of us. We will need to be prepared to take action to address it.
And we can - together, at the European level and with international partners.

Discussing at #EFA22 current & future crises with a next generation of leaders.
We must step up our capacity to address more than one crisis at the time.
A year ago, all eyes were on Afghanistan. Today, esp women & girls are suffering but there are no more headlines reporting it

Glad to exchange at @forumalpbach with its International Advisory Board on geopolitical changes we are facing in the current strategic environment.
The world needs more cooperation, otherwise global challenges will not be solved. Europe needs to be at the table, not on the menu.

Austria plays an important role as bridge-builder in Europe - politically and geographically.
Thank you @a_schallenberg for the invitation to beautiful Salzburg & the @SbgFestival, the opportunity to exchange in-depth about the #WesternBalkans, Ukraine & challenges in the Sahel.

Der Krieg in der Ukraine ist nicht nur ein Krieg der Ukrainer, sondern ein Krieg für unsere Freiheit.

Reported air strikes against #Mekelle targeting civilians add to the numerous violations of international humanitarian law in #Tigray.
They cast a terrible shadow on the commitment taken by the Government of Ethiopia to engage in peace negotiations.

I am happy that we found a European solution that facilitates travel between #Kosovo and #Serbia, which is in the interest of all citizens of Kosovo and Serbia.
I thank @predsednikrs and @albinkurti for their leadership, and underline the excellent practical EU - US cooperation
