Josep Borrell Fontelles @JosepBorrellF@respublicae.eu

A stronger voice of youth in decision-making and reflecting the vision and ambitions of young people is essential.

I look forward to discussion today with group of young people from around the world in the framework of the European Year of Youth.

We are imposing restrictive measures on news outlets, persons and organisations who are attacking the public space with disinformation, trying to deflect Russia's blame and poisoning people's minds.

We are determined to act in support of #Ukraine.
For as long as needed.

We are proposing measures against members of the Russian government, the Duma and the Federation Council; so-called judges who instead of upholding the rule of law, are providing fake legitimacy to the Russian rulers and their illegal decisions.

We will be hitting hard at the Russian armed forces, the military and defence sector, companies producing military equipment or those who are planning the missile strikes that are targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, in gross violation of international law.

I am presenting to Member States almost 200 additional individuals and entities to be sanctioned.
This includes those responsible for military activities, disinformation, for looting of Ukrainian grain and for inhumane, illegal deportations and kidnappings of Ukrainian children.

After food and hunger, Putin now decided to weaponize the winter.

He wants to disrupt electricity, heating, and water supplies for millions of civilians across #Ukraine.

We are responding with the 9th package of sanctions against those who are instrumental in this brutal war.

First meeting with BiH Trio-Presidency Chairwoman Žjelka Cvijanović at #EUWBSummit

Commission recommendation for candidate status is an important opportunity, it’s now key for BiH to advance steps to make it a reality.

We are fully committed to BiH’s EU perspective.

In face of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, we need more than ever to stand together in defending democracy and international law.

Today‘s #EUWBSummit is another proof that the EU & the Western Balkans are able to face enormous challenges together.

The EU is the biggest donor in the Western Balkans with € 29.5 billion, provides 61% of all FDI and
70% of total trade.

This is an offer for the WBs citizens, that nobody can match.
EU membership is a strong anti-dote to instability and malign external influence.

#EUWesternBalkansSummit

We support:
- Households on prices rise
- Resilience to hybrid threats & cyber-attacks
- stepping up defence capabilities
- Full demining of BiH.

Belgrade and Pristina have an opportunity to advance on full normalisation of relations. Let’s use it.

Good to meet with PM @DKovachevski in the margins of the #EUWBSummit.

We discussed importance of advancing necessary reforms on rule of law and judiciary and accelerate accession talks. We agreed to hold upcoming Stabilisation & Association Council in North Macedonia.

Happy to be back in Tirana!

This is the first ever EU—Western Balkans Summit taking place in the region.

It is an opportunity to reconfirm the strategic partnership between the EU and the #WB, a region with a clear #EU membership perspective.

Heureux d'être intervenu devant @DelorsInstitute présidé par @EnricoLetta sur
"penser l'Europe dans les tempêtes".

Face à ces tempêtes, nous avons déjà brisé de nombreux tabous.

L'Europe doit continuer à apprendre à parler "le langage de la puissance".
RT @DelorsInstitute: 🇪🇺 [#Europe] Nous sommes ravis d’accueillir @JosepBorrellF pour échanger sur l’Europe dans les tempêtes en clôture de cette riche journée en discussions européennes!

Oil price cap for crude oil and petroleum oils from Russia will become applicable as of tomorrow.

Closely coordinated with our partners, the cap will drastically reduce Russia's revenues, stabilise global energy prices and mitigate adverse energy supply consequences.
RT @EUCouncil: EU countries have agreed to cap the price of Russian oil at $60 per barrel.

This decision will:
➡️limit price surges driven by extraordinary market conditions
