Its logo puts together the colours of Ukraine and the European Union. Because we have a common future.

I thank Poland for the big effort that the Polish Army and the Polish kpeople are doing for this Mission and for Ukraine.

Слава Україні!

Today, #EUMAM has reached its full initial operational capability.   
1,100 soldiers are already being trained.
The Mission will generate training offers to address Ukrainian needs and we are going to provide resources: €16 million for lethal equipment for training purposes.

The EU Military Assistance Mission for Ukraine is proof of our determination to support Ukraine: militarily, financially, economically & politically.

This Mission is unprecedented, pushing EU military cooperation to new levels. Over 20 Member States participate in it.

The Ukrainian army is one of the best in the world. They have proven to be.

Ukraine is resisting, fighting off the Russian aggression, which is trying to cruelly push the country into darkness and cold.

Humbled by the courageous soldiers and their will to defend their people.

Today @DefenceU opened a Cyber Lab financed under European Peace Facility. Providing a realistic virtual environment for real-time simulations, it will help advance hands-on skills of military cyber defence professionals. We keep making #Ukraine stronger.

Зворушений розмовою з 🇺🇦 військовими та сповнений захоплення їхньою хоробрістю та рішучістю.

Слів і оплесків недостатньо. Ми маємо продовжувати надавати їм засоби для продовження боротьби проти РФ.

І ми не припинятимемо це робити через #EUMAM і Європейський фонд миру.

Humbled by my exchange with the Ukrainian troops and full of admiration for their bravery & determination.

Words and applause are not enough. We must continue providing them with the means to continue their fight against Russia.

Through #EUMAM & #EPF, we will continue to do so.

I witnessed at the training site of our Military Assistance Mission #EUMAM only 15 days after its launch an impressive specialised program on combat engineering and demining for Ukrainian troops, who bravely defend their nation.

The EU stands behind #Ukraine and is delivering.

I am visiting today a training site of our new EU training mission for Ukrainian soldiers #EUMAM.

I will meet the first group of trainees of a total of 15,000 soldiers that will be trained by EUMAM

Grateful to Poland for hosting a significant part of the training on polish soil

Excellent exchange with @mblaszczak. I thank Poland for its crucial role as #EUMAM host & largest provider of military supplies to Ukraine under the European Peace Facility.
With Poland's support, the EU will continue to assist Ukraine in every way we can, for as long as it takes

Had the opportunity to assure my friend @Bujar_O of the EU's full support for North Macedonia's incoming @OSCE Chairmanship. You are assuming the helm of the organisation in difficult times, count on EU's continued contribution in advancing peace and stability in the OSCE area.

Discussed with Armenia FM @AraratMirzoyan ways to advance on peace building and sustainable conflict settlement in the region.

The EU remains committed to closely supporting both Armenia and Azerbaijan towards the normalisation of their relations.

Discussed regional challenges with Azerbaijan’s FM @Bayramov_Jeyhun. Underscored EU’s commitment to facilitate peace talks and confidence building in the South Caucasus. Counting on Azerbaijan’s cooperation to continue efforts towards peace building and regional prosperity.

The @OSCE institutions and operations continue their efforts to bring stability in this grim environment. The EU will continue its steadfast support to the organisation.

We will provide €1.2 million for OSCE demining activities in Ukraine.

Thanks to @PLinOSCE for their work.

Russia has brought war back to Europe. It is throwing Ukraine into cold & darkness, and beyond its brutal attack on Ukraine and it’s people continues its deeply destabilising role in Georgia’s breakaway regions and Transnistrian region of Moldova. We need to be united against it.

In 1975 our predecessors signed the Helsinki Final Act, agreeing on a core set of principles: renouncing the use of force, respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity and protecting human rights and freedoms.

Today, Russia is violating all these @OSCE commitments.

We also propose to explore legal avenues to manage Russian frozen assets & ensure Russia pays for the reconstruction of Ukraine.

I will present this at the event on #accountability hosted by @DmytroKuleba at #OSCEMC2022

There can be #NoImpunity for Russia’s crimes.

I am proposing with @EU_Commission to EU Member States:
- strong support to @IntlCrimCourt and the Ukrainian Prosecutor General in establishing facts
- support to creating Special Tribunal to prosecute the crime of aggression

At #OSCEMC2022 to discuss how to reinforce the OSCE to pave the way for a new security order in Europe, after Russia has completely broken the one we had
Russia’s aggression against Ukraine is a violation of international law & violation of OSCE principles
