The Nazi extermination camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau - the scene of one of the darkest chapters in human history. 80 years since its liberation, as we gather at the site of horror to honour those who perished and those who survived, we recommit to our fight against hate.

It has been seven years since the murder of Slovak journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová. The fight for truth and justice is Europe's fight. We remember them. We honour them. And we reiterate our commitment to protecting journalists. #AllForJan

When three years ago, the people of Ukraine woke up to the grim reality of war, we promised them our unwavering support. We kept our word. Because that’s what friends do. Because this is not only about Ukraine. This is about democracy, Europe and everything we stand for.

We stand firm with Ukraine. Because Ukraine is part of our European family. Peace, security, and justice will prevail. Joint statement with António Costa and Ursula von der Leyen: europa.eu/!kv8FTM

Your dignity honours the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.
