My counterparts 🇱🇹Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 and 🇮🇪@SimonCoveney became the first foreign ministers to whom I presented the Kyiv Security Compact drafted by Andriy Yermak and Anders Fogh Rasmussen. We will continue working closely with our partners to advocate solid security guarantees for Ukraine.

Spoke to #AJ on NATO Summit in Vilnius 🇱🇹. West needs to send clear msg to Putin - we mean when we say “as long as it takes”. Allies should set path for 🇺🇦 membership (i.e. no MAP). In interim, G7, 🇵🇱 , 🇷🇴, 🇪🇺 will have to provide security guarantees - so 🇺🇦 can defend itself.

Azerbaijan has launched a major new offensive against Nagorno-Karabakh. The international community must push Azerbaijan to end hostilities immediately. If they refuse, sanctions must follow. The world cannot be silent when ethnic cleansing occurs. politico.eu/article/azerba…

The EU strategy of equidistance between Armenia + Azerbaijan has failed. We must now act quickly + decisively to prevent ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh + an attack on 🇦🇲 territory. This is the only language that autocrats like Aliyev understand: 🧵 1/4

Leaders have decided to open accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova and to grant candidate status to Georgia. A strategic decision and a day that will remain engraved in the history of our Union Proud that we have lived up to our promises and delighted for our partners
