Ukraine’s sovereignty must be respected.

Ukraine’s security must be guaranteed, in the long term, as a first line of defence for our Union.

These priorities were are the center of our discussions with SG Rutte.

Europe will keep contributing to all efforts for a just and lasting peace for Ukraine

As peace talks are ongoing, the EU remains ironclad in its support for Ukraine.

Our financing proposals are on the table.

The goal is a strong Ukraine, on the battlefield & at the negotiating table.

We reaffirmed to President Zelenskyy that the EU remains steadfast and committed to its principles

This is my flag.
Esta es mi bandera.

Kaja Kallas marks one intense year since the start of her mandate as High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission @ec.europa.eu

Europe has been underestimating its own power, especially towards Russia.
We should be more self confident.

The United States is still our biggest ally.
And it's in the interest of the U.S. that we work together.

Extracts from my intervention at the 2025 Doha Forum ↓

Ending the era of Russian fossil fuels for good. Securing Europe’s energy independence.

We welcome the @europarl.europa.eu and @consilium.europa.eu agreement on a permanent phase-out of Russian gas and move towards the phase-out of oil by 2027.

It's decided.

Europe is closing the tap on Russian fossil fuels once and for all.

Energy independence starts now.

Together we can outspend, outproduce and outgun Russia. 

To deter Russia we must work as a team🇪🇺

The division of labour is clear: 
Member States lead and decide. 
Industry produces. 
The EU supports.

One year into @kajakallas.bsky.social’s mandate as HR/VP, the EU keeps delivering results across its strategic priorities: defending Europe against aggression, securing peace and stability in our neighbourhood and building strong global partnerships.

This week could be pivotal for diplomacy.

It is clear that Russia does not want peace, and therefore we need to make Ukraine as strong as possible.
