Good discussion with Prime Minister @trussliz on EU-UK relations and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
We condemn Putin’s actions and agree that his calls to mobilise parts of the population are a sign of weakness.
Russia's invasion is failing.

One that makes our multilateral system fit for the challenges of the 21st century.

The EU is a staunch defender of the @UN charter and international law.
We stand by 🇺🇦 for as long as it takes.

The world was still dealing with climate change, poverty and the lingering effects of COVID when Russia started its war of aggression against Ukraine.
In this cascade of crises, #UNGA77 is about accelerating our common action.

I was honoured to pay my last respects to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Stoic and steadfast, she always reminded us that our future is built on new ideas and founded in our oldest values.
May we all continue to find inspiration in the unique legacy she has left us.

Many countries want to achieve, together with us, the green and digital transition.
Our #GlobalGateway strategy is at work to provide the investments needed. And we are teaming up with G7 partners.
@POTUS and I will convene a meeting to review and announce projects.

Raw material will power our future.
But a few countries now control supplies and processing.
We should not fall into the same old dependencies.
So I will present a Critical Raw Material Act.
With strategic 🇪🇺 projects on extraction, refining, processing and recycling.

Moving scenes in Irpin.
In Ukraine this year, 70 000 children cannot go back to the classroom because their schools were destroyed by Russian bombs.
We will continue working with Olena @ZelenskaUA to rebuild schools and will provide €100 million for this.

Dear Volodymyr @ZelenskyyUA congratulations on 🇺🇦 military successes.
