Insightful discussion at the EURCA Regional Seminar “Winning the Narrative in Enlargement Countries” during #AmbassadorsWeek. Talked about Russian hybrid interference. 83% of Ukrainians backing EU accession, tackling disinformation is key 🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦

In my interview for @dw_ukrainian, highlighted how 🇪🇺 and 🇺🇦 security are closely linked and the prospects of Ukraine’s EU accession. Talked also about battling Russian narratives & how Ukraine can help Europe close the innovation gap. 🔗dw.com/uk/posolka-ukr…

Another brutal night for 🇺🇦💔Russia launched around 430 drones & 68 missiles across several regions, targeting energy infrastructure in the Kyiv region but also hitting homes, schools and businesses. At least 4 people were killed, many injured. This brutal war must stop!

145 Ambassadors. 140+ countries. One week. The EU Ambassadors Conference wrapped up today and Europe's direction is clear.

🇺🇦🇪🇺 На сьогодні назвати точну дату вступу України до ЄС вкрай складно, хоча вона в прописана серед 20 пунктів мирного плану, сказала під час заходу NV посолка ЄС в Україні biz.nv.ua/ukr/economics/…

Important discussion at the Ambassadors’ Conference with HRVP @kajakallas and 🇺🇦 MoD @FedorovMykhailo. ❗️Key message – Russia is not winning on the battlefield!

Glad to join panel “Defending Freedom, Democracy & Security” during ENEST Days @eu_enlargement_ No country has defended these principles more courageously than 🇺🇦. Amid Russia’s war, Ukrainians stand on the front line against aggression, disinformation & hybrid threats.

In times like these, values & trust matter more than ever. Strong message from @eucopresident at the EU Ambassadors’ Conference.

Together w/ @kajakallas on EU Ambassadors week, thank you for important the opening speech

Powerful speech by @vonderleyen at EU Ambassadors Conference — “The new EU security strategy must be the organizing principle for all policies.”

The EU Ambassadors Conference is starting. Watch the opening speech by HR/VP @kajakallas live here⤵️ twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

In Brussels for week-long EU Ambassadors Conference, bringing together 145 🇪🇺 Ambassadors. Kicking off w/@EP_President at pivotal moment for global politics. Unity & effective diplomacy matter more than ever in the contested world. #EUDiplomacykicking

🇪🇺 The EU is boosting support for Ukraine’s recovery. A new €1.5 billion package under the Ukraine Investment Framework will unlock €3.4 billion in investments for energy, education, connectivity, agriculture, SMEs & shelters in schools. 🔗link.europa.eu/qB8PMx

For years, 🇺🇦 has been delivering complex, long-term reforms in the rule of law & anti-corruption on its EU path. However progress has slowed in recent months: some reforms will be painful, requiring courage, sacrifices & decisive action. 🔗Read more: cutt.ly/ZtE3IZM3

Congratulating Ukraine on the reception of the first 1.5$bn tranche from the @IMFNews under the new four-year EFF Arrangement. Funds were transferred to the State Budget and will be directed to finance priority& macrofinancial stability. A strong signal of trust in 🇺🇦 reforms.

Just spoke with @ZelenskyyUA. We are focused on our shared priorities: conclude the adoption of the Ukraine Support Loan and of the 20th package of sanctions. We also discussed the wider impact of the developments in the Middle East on energy prices, on energy security and on availability of badly needed defence materials.

Productive meeting of EU Ambassadors w/ @OlekKorn to discuss legislative support for Ukraine's EU accession & key reforms. A strong, effective Parliament is essential to keep reforms moving forward & advance Ukraine’s European integration. 🇺🇦🇪🇺

Four years ago, under attack, Ukraine applied to join the European Union. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk and PM Denys Shmyhal signed it from a bunker on Bankova Street in Kyiv. Even then, Ukraine chose Europe. #Ukraine #EU

Four years ago, Ukraine took a historic step towards the EU. Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed the membership application. That choice remains stronger than ever. The EU stands firmly with you. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow 🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦
