Commemorating the sad 4th anniversary of Russia‘s illegal and unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine - with my Ukrainian colleague and friend @AndriiYurash, my Lithuanian colleague and representatives of the diplomatic corps, in a prayer for the brave people of Ukraine in the oldest Ukrainian church in Rome. We stand with Ukraine - as long as it takes🇺🇦🇪🇺. And we call for a comprehensive, just and lasting peace, on the basis of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.

Putin doesn’t want peace, Russia’s reply to diplomacy is more missiles and destruction. This deadly pattern of recurring major Russian strikes will repeat itself until we help Ukraine break it. Russia’s reported use of an Oreshnik missile is a clear escalation against Ukraine and meant as a warning to Europe and to the US. EU countries must dig deeper into their air-defence stocks and deliver now. We must also further raise the cost of this war for Moscow, including through tougher sanctions.

The Belarusian regime has launched yet another hybrid attack against Europe and NATO eastern flank. We know the playbook, we'll deal with it again. Lithuania will not tolerate systematic threats and territorial violations.

This is what Russian “peace” looks like - destroyed civilian buildings&civilian deaths. Today, Russian terrorists also targeted 6 foreign embassies in #Kyiv. Another proof that Russia has no red lines while we stick to so many. #Lithuania stands in solidarity with 🇺🇦🇦🇱🇦🇷🇵🇸🇲🇰🇵🇹🇲🇪.

Tragically, one crew member is dead and others hospitalised after a DHL cargo aircraft crashed on approach to Vilnius Airport. My condolences to the victims' families. 🕯 The investigation is ongoing and nothing has been ruled out.

I had a meaningful meeting with the Secretary of State of the Holy See @TerzaLoggia, Cardinal Pietro Parolin. We discussed the consequences of Russia's aggression against Ukraine, the ongoing aerial terror, the difficult humanitarian situation, and the outcomes of our meeting with Pope Francis in June in Italy. We focused particularly on the decisions of the first Peace Summit and the Vatican’s role in establishing a just and lasting peace for Ukraine. I am grateful for Cardinal’s support of our country and people.

Putin sends his greetings to the NATO Summit by bombing a childrens' hospital, as if any clarification was needed as to why Ukraine must have all possible support now, and real guarantees for security in the future.

🇪🇺 #EU Ambassadors to the #HolySee meet with Superior General of the Basilian Order of Saint Josaphat and the Ukrainian Ambassador @AndriiYurash to mark the two years full-fledged Russian war against Ukraine

Today we, the Baltic States 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 and Czechia 🇨🇿 come to this Council to address the entire international community with a very simple message: For all our sakes, wake up. 🧵

Sikorski @sikorskiradek pozamiatał roSSje w ONZ. Jednak pojawiło się poważne przekłamanie równe "polskie obozy śmierci" czyli "Janukowycz został odsunięty ze stanowiska przez demokratyczny parlament i partie regionów" Nikt Janukowycza nie odsuwał ze stanowiska o czym sam mówi.

Ales Bialiatski is one of the most distinguished human rights defenders in Europe. He will not be present to receive the #NobelPrize for Peace, as he is in jail like the remaining 1400+ political prisoners in Belarus. The Lukashenko’s regime must free Bialiatski and #FreeThemAll
