If you see a #Ukrainian mother with children travelling for free on a 🇪🇺 train in the coming days, remember that their husband, brothers and sons may have been asked to stay behind to fight for freedom #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦🇪🇺 #solidarityWithUkraine

@ckaheru @ndelagrandville Maybe take a closer look, my friend! 🤣

@EUAmbSchmidt @ndelagrandville You grow younger, @EUAmbSchmidt😊!

EU Rail directors are in Narvik 🇳🇴, observing Military Mobility in Arctic conditions, on the Iron Ore Line from #Kiruna 🇸🇪. @ndelagrandville

Recibo las terribles noticias desde Córdoba. Mi más sentido pésame a las familias y seres queridos de las víctimas del accidente ferroviario y al pueblo español. Deseo una rápida y completa recuperación a los heridos. Esta noche estáis en mis pensamientos.

#CEFTransport is connecting Spain and France through high-speed rail 🚅 The ‘Y Vasca’ railway line, currently under construction, will link the Basque cities of San Sebastián, Bilbao & Vitoria-Gasteiz with France & #EU high-speed rail network. Read more➡️link.europa.eu/JhtctJ

🔊 Opening the panel “Do Heavy Vehicles = Heavy Emissions? Europe’s Freights Face a Green Crossroads”, moderated by @DaveKeating, @EUAmbSchmidt, Director DG MOVE @EU_Commission, states: “Decarbonising road transport is not about picking winners in technology, it’s about making electrification and other solutions viable for thousands of small operators who cannot wait decades for a return on investment.” #2025YearsOfEBS #EBS2025 #ChooseEurope

Resilient infrastructure. Joint action. Safer Europe. Today’s Military Mobility Package will strengthen Europe’s readiness and ability to move quickly in crisis. To support adoption of disruptive innovations, we’re also laying out the Defence Industry Transformation Roadmap. link.europa.eu/FFdWvC

More reliable trains? Yes, please! 🙏 #EUTransport welcomes the political agreement reached on the use of railway infrastructure capacity. The regulation will: 🛤️ Optimise use of rail tracks 🌐 Improve cross-border coordination ⌚Increase punctuality link.europa.eu/HqFDFX

🚆 All aboard for more frequent and reliable trains! @EUCouncil & @Europarl_EN just agreed on new rules for better management of capacity across the 🇪🇺 EU’s railway network. Next stop ⬇️

TRILOGUE AGREED

📰 Good news is on the way for rail travellers! Travel time will be cut significantly between: 📍 Copenhagen – Berlin 📍 Paris – Rome 📍 Vienna – Ljubljana And more... 🌐 Take a look at the future of EU rail 👇 #EUTransport #ConnectingEurope #TEN_T

We’re launching a bold plan to make high-speed rail the fastest, more sustainable way to travel across Europe by 2040. 🚆 It’s a concrete timeline to remove bottlenecks, unlock investment, and harmonise rail systems⬇️

🚄🚄🚄🚄🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺 Wouldn’t it be great to cut train travel times across Europe in half, on a three times wider network, with lots of new international connections, at lower prices? 👇👇 Support the plan!!👇👇

🇺🇦🤝🇪🇺 Ukraine & the EU have extended the Road Transport Agreement until 31 March 2027. No special permits needed for bilateral & transit freight operations. This ensures stable trade, easier logistics & stronger EU-Ukraine connectivity. 🚛🌍 @Transport_EU @OleksiiKuleba

Deputy Prime Minister @OleksiiKuleba welcomed today’s agreement as “historic”. Proud to sign it for the European Union 🇪🇺! Thanks to DM @SerhiyDerkach for the excellent cooperation 🇪🇺 🤝 🇺🇦

Very pleased to sign this agreement with 🇲🇩 State Sec Mircea Păscăluță! 🤝

22 years after 🇦🇹 & 🇮🇹 committed to building the Brenner Base Tunnel & 18 years after the 🇪🇺 committed to co-financing construction, we have a breakthrough! #EUTransport Cssr @tzitzikostas joined PM Meloni & Chancellor Stocker and Ministers Salvini & Hanke for the ceremony.

In the morning, the first direct trains departed on the European gauge railway to three EU cities. This is a symbol of integration into the common EU transport space. The next step is to scale up such projects and expand convenient European routes for the Ukrainians.

Important meeting with Magda Kopczyńska, Director for Transport at the @EU_Commission. We focused on: – 🇪🇺 Road transport agreement → towards a permanent deal – New cross-border rail projects under CEF – Integration of 🇺🇦 routes into TEN-T

One track. One standard. One step closer to Europe. 🇺🇦 Ukraine opens its first European-gauge railway, a 22-km line from Uzhhorod to Chop. A €28.6 million #EUfunded project bringing: ✅ Faster border crossing ✅ More trade ✅ Better links to 🇸🇰🇭🇺🇦🇹 and beyond ↓
