Starting tomorrow, the 29 member states of the Schengen area will start progressively introducing a new, technologically advanced border management system - the Entry-Exit System (EES). The EES will lead to more secure, faster and smoother border crossings to the Schengen Area.

Yup. “Ukraine has become an “archetypal Kunderian state” — a country whose heart belongs in the west but one stunted by an imperial Kremlin. “Central Europe” may currently be as simple as the idea of freedom from Russia”. on.ft.com/4q7ssA6

Ukrainians inspire the world with their courage. Their resilience calls for our full support. I am in Kyiv today for talks on financial and military support, the security of Ukraine’s energy sector, and holding Russia accountable for its war crimes.

Russia has hit a DTEK coal mine in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region, trapping 192 miners underground as explosions shook the site. Emergency crews are racing to bring everyone to the surface.

Moscow's shadow fleet funds Russia's war. It also acts as a launchpad for hybrid attacks. Today, we discussed a more robust European response and better coordination. My press remarks following the Foreign Affairs Council ↓

Close friends stick together. And face challenges side by side. I’m meeting in London John Healey and Yvette Cooper for the first EU-UK Foreign and Security Policy Dialogue. We are deepening our cooperation to support Ukraine and address geopolitical threats together.

We just adopted our 19th sanctions package. It targets Russian banks, crypto exchanges, entities in India and China, among others. The EU is curbing Russian diplomats’ movements to counter the attempts of destabilisation. It is increasingly harder for Putin to fund this war.

The new US sanctions are an important sign of strength. Together with our 19th package of sanctions, we are depriving Russia of the means to fund this war. My doorstep ahead of today’s #EUCO ↓

K: Euroopa teeb eriliseks ka see, et meil on palju regulatsioone. Kas see ei kõiguta teie usku Euroopasse? V: Ma ei ole kohanud mitte ühtegi läbimurdelise ettevõtte ehitanud ettevõtjat, kes oleks rääkinud midagi sellest, et ta poleks saanud midagi teha regulatsioonide pärast.

“Europe should take heart and recognise its own strength. Its military budget is already four times larger than Russia’s; its economy ten times. Far from shying away from a financial contest with the Kremlin, Europe should embrace it—and win the war.” economist.com/leaders/2025/1…

It is good to be back in Bosnia and Herzegovina following the UN’s renewal of the European Union Force in Bosnia and Herzegovina mandate. The world recognises that EUFOR helps keep the country safe. The dedication and professionalism of our troops here are what makes EUFOR a success. My address to troops ↓

EU enlargement is not a 'nice to have'. It is a necessity if we want to be a stronger player on the world stage. My press remarks on the 2025 enlargement package with Marta Kos ↓

Presented the 2025 European Commission Report on BiH 🇧🇦 to the Chairwoman of the BiH Council of Ministers, Borjana Krišto. I underlined that the Report should be treated as a guide that shows where a country has to deliver. And when candidate countries deliver, the EU delivers too.

Gender equality and non-discrimination are an integral part of EU law. Aligning with it is part of the EU accession process. This is not a private demand of the Ambassador of EU in Albania Any attacks on him are unacceptable.
