Russia is using cold as a weapon of war.
But Ukraine's resistance is remarkable.
And Europe's solidarity remains as strong as ever.
We are rebuilding Ukraine's energy grid and improving its protection.
We are supporting Ukraine through this winter.

From hybrid threats to demographic pressure and economic impact.
Our Eastern regions bordering Russia, Belarus and Ukraine are facing a multitude of challenges.
We must support these regions and show our solidarity.
Because our security lies in their strength, resilience and stability.
With today's Eastern border regions strategy, we're strengthening their security, while boosting growth and regional prosperity.
To protect those who protect us.

Nous sommes de tout coeur avec la France suite au passage dévastateur du cyclone Chido à Mayotte.
L'Europe est aux côtés des Mahorais dans cette terrible épreuve.
Nous sommes prêts à apporter du soutien dans les jours à venir.

The floods in Spain are not only a national tragedy.
It’s also a European one.
As such, it will get a European response.
We are ready to support you with emergency supplies.
When the time comes, we can also help you rebuild.

Where you live should not determine whether you live.
We must do more for food security and access to healthcare everywhere on the planet.
Glad to pledge €470 million for vaccination and humanitarian aid at

Relentless Russian attacks means Ukraine needs continued EU support.
The

will provide a loan of up to 35 billion euros to Ukraine as part of the G7 pledge.
This is another major EU contribution to the Ukraine’s recovery.

The first thing I do in Kyiv is to pay tribute to the fallen defenders of Ukraine over the past 10 years.
They are real heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for the security of our continent as a whole.
We will carry their memories in our hearts and minds.

Our support to Ukraine’s energy security since Feb 2022 reaches at least €2 bn.
Today we make another €160 mn available for this winter.
Including close to €100 mn from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets in the EU.
Russia must pay for the destruction it caused.

The second half of the decade will be high-risk.
We Europeans must be on guard.
We must think about our Union as, intrinsically, a security project.
Where Central Europe has a crucial role to play ↓

Europe will always be at Ukraine’s side, because Ukraine is Europe.
Your freedom is our freedom.
Your security is our security.
We've been standing with you since day one. And we'll continue to do so, for as long as it takes.
I'm wishing our friends a proud Independence Day.
