Strongly condemn #Russia’s renewed criminal attacks against civilians & critical infrastructure in Ukraine: massive blackouts, also in Moldova. Depriving millions of electricity, water &heating during winter is cruel & inhuman. EU's support to Ukraine & Moldova continues unabated

RT @JosepBorrellF: Debriefed @NATO SG @jensstoltenberg about the disappointing outcome of today’s EU-facilitated high level meeting between Belgrade and Pristina.
Escalation must be avoided. The EU and NATO remain coordinated, also on the ground. @EULEXkosovo is monitoring closely.
RT @JosepBorrellF: Greatly concerned over latest shelling at the illegally seized #Zaporizhzhia NPP over the weekend. This is unacceptable and this nuclear gamble by Russia must stop. Full support to @iaeaorg and @rafaelmgrossi to work towards nuclear safety &security zone around #ZNPP
RT @JosepBorrellF: Last week, the Black Sea Grain Initiative was extended.
This is good news, but only the withdrawal of Russian troops can enable Ukraine to produce the agricultural products that a world of 8 billion people urgently needs.
