Today we pause to remember the more than 8,300 victims of the Srebrenica genocide and the families who still grieve. The European Union remains firmly committed to Bosnia and Herzegovina's European future as a sovereign, united, multiethnic and democratic country.

In the EU, social media platforms are accountable for their addictive designs. Our investigation of Instagram and Facebook shows Meta has not adequately assessed the risks of features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, and recommender systems. Meta can now exercise its right to defence before these preliminary findings are confirmed. link.europa.eu/VBCdx8

Today, we are presenting a new sanctions regime against migrant smugglers and traffickers. We all have a common goal. To drive them out of business.

Thank you, President @RTErdogan, for the warm welcome to Ankara. The EU and Türkiye are strategic partners, and we are committed to strengthening our relationship. In a more challenging world, our partnership matters more than ever. Türkiye has been an important partner in addressing the crises in the Middle East and supporting efforts for a just and lasting peace in Ukraine. We must also seize the renewed momentum to advance a settlement of the Cyprus issue through the UN-led process.

Big ideas often start with citizens. 🇪🇺💬 A new European Citizens’ Initiative has been registered. Next step? Signature collection across the EU. 👉 See which initiatives are already open for support: link.europa.eu/97PkMD #EUTakeTheInitiative

Touchbase with @ZelenskyyUa at the NATO Summit. We are committed to helping protect the skies of Ukraine. More support is on the way for air defence and missile interception. Our teams are working closely to integrate our defence industries - to produce fast and “en masse”. We also discussed energy preparations for the winter and our joint end goal: a free, sovereign Ukraine inside the EU. We will get there, step by step and cluster by cluster.

For a stronger, secure digital Europe. Discover our Action Plan on Cybersecurity and AI: link.europa.eu/ggpXTT

Our new action plan focuses on: 1️⃣ Developing safe and responsible advanced AI models 2️⃣ Fixing vulnerabilities and reinforcing cybersecurity 3️⃣ Scaling up European AI capacity through training and funding

AI is redefining cybersecurity. We must keep pace. Advanced AI models have the power to both create and stop cyber threats. They are remodeling how we protect and defend our digital infrastructure. In the EU, we want to create our own path toward safe and responsible advanced AI to strengthen our cybersecurity capabilities.

In a more dangerous world, the EU–NATO partnership is more important than ever. European states are investing heavily in their defence. Building stronger, combat-ready, interoperable forces. Strengthening Europe's defence industry. And delivering greater security, better jobs and stronger growth for Europeans.

Finland stands strong. As we ramp up our collective capabilities, your country is leading the way, dear @alexstubb. From military strength to tech savviness. And preparedness across the board. From the Baltic to the Arctic, Finland makes Europe stronger.

Dear Volodymyr @ZelenskyyUa, it is good to see you in Ankara. Here, we are discussing the future of defence. And Ukraine has a great deal to contribute. This month, we have provided the first €4 billion of our drone package to further strengthen Ukraine's drone capabilities. More support is on the way, including for air defence and missile interception. The tide is turning.

What matters for Europe now: to accelerate the production of defence equipment. Here Europe and Ukraine will be stronger together by integrating our respective defence industries. Giving us speed, mass production and innovation ↓ x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
