Contrary to Russia’s claims, Alexei Navalny did not die of natural causes.
The Netherlands, UK, Sweden, France and Germany are confident that Alexei was poisoned with a lethal toxin. Together, we will continue to hold Russia to account.

"Zo ongeveer de hele energie-intensieve industrie van Europa wil dat de afbouw van CO₂-emissierechten in het emissiehandelssysteem stopt. Dat zou de bodem onder het Europese klimaatbeleid wegslaan, en de pas aangescherpte doelen van de Green Deal onhaalbaar maken.."

Great honour to meet President Zelensky in Munich.
We discuss our latest support in air defence and drones, which Ukraine needs against Russian terror now.
Thank you for your outstanding leadership and defending our freedom. The Netherlands remains resolute in our support! 🇳🇱🇺🇦
Ahead of the Munich Security Conference, I joined BBC News to talk international security and Dutch priorities. Ukraine is where our focus should be. Ready for two days packed with diplomacy.

The Netherlands is firmly committed to supporting Ukraine, now and in the future. We will maintain pressure on Russia to end its war of aggression.
Today, I discussed current developments, urgent energy needs, accountability efforts, and more with my colleague Andrii Sybiha.
As global leaders meet in #Davos, our

Eight decades after the Holocaust, its legacy is still felt. For many, the past is never far away. Fear has not disappeared.
Over six million Jews, Roma & Sinti were murdered.
Today, we pause to remember what must never be forgotten - and the responsibility that comes with it.
Today, the world’s two largest democracies launched a Security and Defence Partnership.
A platform for stronger cooperation on the strategic issues that matter most
- from defence industry to maritime security.
This is what trusted partners do.

The Netherlands stands with Ukraine as it courageously defends itself against ongoing Russian aggression. Dutch expertise can help strengthen Ukraine’s resilience. @fmo-nl.bsky.social’s investment shows how we can support Ukraine alongside global partners.

Canadian PM Carney’s speech at Davos is a must-read. Nice illustration of Balance of Threat theory—he’s saying medium powers must band together to deal with the threat of a rogue US. He’s right: it’s just more evidence of #Trump’s grand-strategic incompetence. globalnews.ca/news/1162087....

Systematisch schakelt Rusland elektriciteit, water en warmte uit. Tijdens een ijskoude winter (-10C).
We moeten Oekraïners de winter doorhelpen, en steunen op het gevechtsveld en in onderhandelingen. 🇺🇦
We leven niet in oorlog, maar ook niet meer in vrede.
In deze ‘grijze zone’ veroorzaakt Rusland onrust met militaire opbouw, spionage, sabotage en het in kaart brengen van onze infrastructuur.
Hoe wapenen we ons hiertegen?

Met de noodsituatie in de energiesector heeft de Russische agressie een grote impact op het dagelijkse leven van miljoenen Oekraïners die zonder stroom en gas zitten.
Samen met de Oekraïense regering spreken we over waar steun het hardst nodig is. (1/2)
Met miljoenen Oekraïners die dagelijks in de kou zitten is de energiesituatie zeer kritiek en zorgwekkend. In mijn gesprek met de minister van Energie Denys Shmyhal heb ik laten weten dat Nederland Oekraïne niet in de kou laat zitten en helpt waar nodig.

We moeten juist nu blijven investeren in Oekraïne. In gesprekken met ministers Yegor Perelygin en Maryna Denysiuk heb ik benadrukt dat Nederlandse bedrijven actief willen bijdragen aan wat Oekraïne nodig heeft. Nu en in de toekomst.

Industrial policy is evolving fast.
Analysis of 31,000+ policies across 150 economies shows governments increasingly pursue multiple (often conflicting) goals, from climate action to supply security, with many policies becoming discriminatory, firm-specific & open-ended

The EU-Mercosur agreement marks a significant milestone. It is one of the largest trade deals ever, which is beneficial for the NL as a trading nation. It provides our businesses with improved access to Mercosur markets, opening up opportunities for exports and investments.

Phone call between Minister van Weel and his Danish colleague Minister Rasmussen.
Good exchange with my Danish colleague Lars Løkke Rasmussen. We discussed the importance of strengthened security for the Arctic and Greenland. As NATO Allies, we are committed to stepping up joint efforts. I reiterated that the future of Greenland is up to Denmark and Greenland.
