Great to have Karen Donfried join us @StateDept as the Assistant Secretary for @StateEUR. In her new role, she will advise on policy in the European and Eurasian regions. We are glad to have someone with her experience on our team.

The United States stands with the European Union and its member states as they confront cyber threats to their democratic systems. We call on all nations to stop malicious cyber activity designed to destabilize democratic processes and societies.
Declaration of @JosepBorrellF on behalf of the EU on malicious cyber activities / Ghostwriter:
- these activities attempt to undermine EU democratic processes
- the EU & MS urge the Russian Federation to adhere to responsible state behaviour in cyberspace.

The United States is deeply grateful to our @NATO Allies for their steadfast support in the aftermath of 9/11. We will never forget that our #NATO Allies stood shoulder-to-shoulder with us.
We remember #September11 & all those who have sacrificed in the fight against terrorism. 20 years ago we stood in solidarity. In a more dangerous world, North America & Europe must continue to stand together in #NATO, because we are safer together. bit.ly/3jZXgmA
Thanks so much to my amazing @gmfus colleagues for a wonderful farewell today. I sure will miss you. Couldn't be more delighted than to have the fabulous @ian_lesser stepping in as Acting President while the Board selects my successor. Stay tuned for that exciting news!

It was a pleasure to join @POTUS' meeting with Ukrainian President @ZelenskyyUA. The U.S.-Ukrainian partnership is stronger than ever and we're committed to Ukraine’s bright and prosperous future. I commend Ukraine for its assistance helping evacuate those at-risk in Afghanistan.
