The UK is joining the #PESCO project on military mobility following the examples of the US, Canada and Norway. This will contribute to simplify cross-border military transport procedures. A very important step for UK-EU cooperation on security and defence.

As a strategic country in the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia plays a key role for regional stability. Two weeks after the @EP_ForeignAff visit to Addis Ababa, I hope that these peace talks will be successful. The EU stands ready to offer its assistance and support whenever needed.

I welcome the public commitment by the Ethiopian Federal Government and the TPLF to enter into #AU-led peace talks to end the crisis in northern #Ethiopia. Leadership on both side will be needed to ensure peace and an end to the human suffering.

Tomorrow‘s @EP_ForeignAff & @EP_Defence meeting will debate on last week's extremely worrying developments in the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. Sham referendums, the mobilisation of reservists & the threat to use nuclear weapons put us all in a dangerous situation.

These desperate attempts to reverse the course of events highlight the Kremlin’s complete lack of touch with reality. The EU, together with our partners and allies, will react in an even more united and resolute way.

Ein Paket zur Stärkung der #Demokratie ist ein wichtiger Beitrag zur richtigen Zeit. Autoritäre Regime fordern unsere Lebensweise & Werte heraus. Die EU ist außenpolitisch glaubwürdig, wenn wir auch bei uns ausländische Einflussnahme und Korruption mit allen Mitteln bekämpfen.
