Congratulations to the International Criminal Court and its officials on receiving the Sakharov Prize.
This award sends a powerful message to the world: Europe stands firmly behind international law, the fight against impunity, and accountability for the most serious international crimes.
The EU will continue to support the @IntlCrimCourt.
There can be no lasting peace without justice and accountability.

Russia’s intensifying attacks on Black Sea shipping are a threat to regional and global food security.
I discussed this with Romania’s new Foreign Minister @DanNeculaescu, alongside NATO’s strengthened regional posture and the urgent need to get the Black Sea Maritime Security Hub operational.
I also raised the vital role of Solidarity Lanes in bringing Ukrainian grain to world markets. I look forward to working together to support Ukraine and Moldova and make Europe stronger.
A Foreign Affairs Council that delivers more means a stronger EU and a stronger Romania. Good exchange today with High Representative @kajakallas, including on Black Sea security. A swiftly operational Black Sea Maritime Security Hub is essential. Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova remain strategic priorities. 🇷🇴🇪🇺

Important conversation on AI with @BillGates and digital CEOs.
We have to strike the right balance.
Between the huge potential AI holds for our industry, healthcare, innovation and so much more.
And its regulation, ensuring trustworthiness and our cyber security.
This is why Europe has the AI Act - for innovation under human control.
And we will continue our global engagement on better coordination and common standards.
To manage the rapid development of AI in the interest of humanity.

Europe’s support for Ukraine - together with our international partners - is stronger than ever. And will remain steadfast.
Russia’s hybrid campaigns - including acts of sabotage and repeated violations of European airspace and territorial waters - remind us that the security of Ukraine and the security of Europe are inseparable.
Our goal remains a just and lasting peace, on terms that respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and security. And an Ukraine that advances on its path toward accession to the EU.

The Houthis use textbook terror tactics against civilians in Yemen and Saudi Arabia to sow fear in the region.
In the Red Sea, operation Aspides plays a crucial role in protecting shipping against Houthi threats.
Aspides has escorted hundreds of vessels to safety and its role is now more visible and in demand.

We deeply regret the ratification today by the Libyan Parliament of the so-called Libyan-Türkiye Memorandum of Understanding on the delimitation of maritime jurisdictions in the Mediterranean Sea.
We recall that the EU’s position on this matter was clearly stated by the European Council in 2019 and remains unchanged. This agreement infringes upon the sovereign rights of third states, it does not comply with the Law of the Sea, and is null and void.
We reaffirm our solidarity with Greece and Cyprus.
We reiterate the EU's well known position against any outside interference in Libya.

The Arctic is not a distant frontier. It is Europe's Northern Neighbourhood, a home to half a million EU citizens and critical to Europe’s security, climate and prosperity.
🇪🇺EU at UN-NY retweeted
The Arctic has become a frontline of global power competition.
The EU’s updated Arctic strategy reflects this new reality by putting security firmly at its core.
Europe will bolster its role in the High North by:
🔹 strengthening surveillance and satellite monitoring,
🔹 better protecting critical undersea infrastructure via an Arctic Cable Hub,
🔹 expanding Europe’s icebreaker capacity,
🔹 investing in new technologies fit for extreme environments,
🔹 improving military mobility.

Russia is intensifying its attacks on Ukraine’s export routes.
Its aggression in the Black Sea make it harder to put food on people’s plates across the world.
A Black Sea freedom of navigation arrangement would protect lives and vital supplies.
Ukraine has proposed it. Russia has rejected it.
That is why diplomatic engagement must go hand in hand with sustained pressure on Moscow and support for Ukraine.
