Tensions on gas exports from Qatar impact on energy prices & the whole economy. Working to mitigate its effects is crucial,while sticking to the need to ensure a resilient, clean and efficient electricity system. It is security & affordability for Europe. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

No nuclear weapons in Finland! Not now and not in the future. The government proposal made by the foreign policy leadership of the National Coalition Party to allow nuclear weapons in Finland is irresponsible, blatant, and completely contrary to the common long line that Finland has followed in foreign and security policy. 👇🧵 1/7

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.

Rewatch our press conference at the JHA Council today.
