The European flags in front of our headquarters in Brussels are at half-mast. Our thoughts are with the victims of the floods in Spain, their families and the rescue teams. The floods in Spain are not only a national tragedy. It’s also a European one.

Climate change, hybrid attacks, disinformation. Preparedness must become part of the underlying logic of all our actions and address the full spectrum of threats and risks. Today we welcome the Niinistö report on strengthening Europe's civilian and military preparedness and

Faced with a cascade of crises, we must do more than react. We need to change our mindset. Preparedness must underpin all our actions. And address the full spectrum of threats and risks. This is why I welcome the @niinisto report ↓

The escalation in Russia's war against Ukraine is a serious threat to European security and global peace. In this context, a close and strategic partnership between the EU and @NATO is more vital than ever. @SecGenNATORutte and I just agreed to step up our cooperation ↓

The people of Georgia have been fighting for democracy. They have a right to know what happened this weekend. A right to see that irregularities are investigated swiftly, transparently, independently. As free and fair elections are at the core of European values.

The security of Europe and East-Asia are interlinked. North Korean soldiers are deployed to support Russia’s war of aggression. It's a grave escalation in this war and a threat to global peace. We will respond together with our like-minded partners, I told @President_KR
