Tomorrow marks 3 years since RU’s full-scale war against UA began. Ukrainians show heroism and resilience every day.
This week, the HR/VP received the flag of the 6th Marine Brigade, a symbol of their bravery in battle. Tomorrow, it will be at the FAC.

Tomorrow will mark three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
A day that will forever live in infamy.
Today we’re hoisting the Ukrainian flag at our headquarters.
It is flying high and proud at the heart of Europe.
Where it belongs.
Benvenuto Stefano ! I look forward to cooperating with you and the teams of the DG. I’m sure we’ll pick up and address effectively the historical challenges ahead of us.
Europe needs a surge in defence.
For years, we have underinvested in defence.
We need to catch up.
And strengthen our defence industrial base.

We have entered into a new era of harsh geostrategic competition. More and more, continent-sized powers engage with each otherbased mostly on interests.
And Europe must deal with it.
Our values do not change. But to defend them, some things must change. 🧵 ↓
We are setting three goals:
First, closing the innovation gap with our competitors.
Second, a joint roadmap for decarbonisation and competitiveness.
And third, strengthening our economic resilience and security.

Seeing the hostages‘ reunion with their families fills our hearts with hope.
Let it be the start of a new chapter for Israel and the Palestinian people.

Europe will support it.

I welcome the ceasefire and hostage release agreement.
This is a major, positive breakthrough towards ending the violence.
It is now time to deliver this agreement for all hostages and their families, the people of Gaza, and the people of the region.
New year, new milestones!
