Hungary has chosen Europe.

Europe has always chosen Hungary.

A country reclaims its European path.

The Union grows stronger.

These €1.4 billion will be directed where they are needed most: to sustain the Ukrainian State, preserve essential public services and support the brave Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Our commitment to Ukraine's victory and freedom is unwavering.

Ukraine will receive €1.4 billion from windfall profits generated by Russian Central Bank assets frozen under EU sanctions.

The assets stay blocked, but the interest they earn can be used to help Ukraine.

For a strong Ukraine in a secure Europe.

It is good to be in Kyiv today with European Foreign Ministers.

Each visit is a powerful reminder of Ukraine’s courage and resilience. (1/2)

Constructive exchange with @eudiplomacy.bsky.social Deputy Managing Director Stella Ronner. We discussed Ukraine, stressing that human rights must guide peace processes and recovery. We also discussed issues of human rights and migration.

The EU needs to join efforts with countries that reject spheres of influence and want power politics to be kept in check by international law.

Our strategic goal is clear: to create a new international balance through partnerships.

Europe will be at the centre of solutions.

The release of 250 political prisoners in Belarus is a welcome and tangible step forward.

I thank the United States for brokering this deal. For many families, this is a moment of long-awaited relief and a chance to reunite with their loved ones. (1/2)

Gender based violence is a silent epidemic in the EU.
Too often hidden. Too often ignored.

Violence by partners, stalking, psychological and economic abuse affect millions of women.

To stamp out racism requires coherent, rights based evidence that identifies shortcomings, informs decisions & shows whether commitments are delivering real change for people.

"The Charter has had a significant impact on EU law & policy," says FRA Director Sirpa Rautio. "However, further efforts are needed to ensure that fundamental rights are effectively protected and promoted across the EU.” Backdrop of gavel and EU flag.

At today’s #JHA @consilium.europa.eu meeting, FRA's Sirpa Rautio suggests how to better promote the added value of the EU’s #FundamentalRights Charter:
1. Build capacity & raise awareness
2. Human rights impact assessments
3. Collect evidence on national usage

Graphic with a dark gradient background and the European Commission logo in the top right corner. In the centre, an eye icon with a strike-through symbol appears above the text “Content Warning.” Below it reads: “Keeping kids safe online isn’t optional.” At the bottom of the image there is a button-like line with the text “See Why.”

We want the internet to be a safe place for the next generation.

Today, we launched our Special Panel on child safety online.

We are gathering expert advice to protect children from online harm and addictive behaviours ↓

The image is a circular infographic with a title in bold black ‘Reasons why we need Gender Equality.’ It features a donut chart divided into four segments with different percentages but all with the same reason that is labelled "Because we are all equal". Each segment has a distinct colour: 35% in pink, 20% in lavender, 15% in yellow, 30% in purple. There is a European Commission logo in the bottom right corner. The background is textured purple.

Gender equality is gaining speed.

In the last five years, we’ve already:

✅ Strengthened equal pay
✅ Promoted women on boards
✅ Improved protections against violence

Today, I hosted the first meeting of a special panel on child safety online.

For decades, we have made the real world safer for children and we must do the same in the digital world.

The positive opportunities that technology offers cannot come at the cost of their safety, health or happiness.

I had a warm meeting with leader of Democratic Belarus Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.

The future of a democratic Belarus is bound to the European Union, to stability and long-term peace in our region, and to the future of prospering democracies in our Eastern neighbourhood.
