1/ Tragedy of Russia has one name - Putin. Transformation of Russia back to normality is more important for Europe's security,  than new “reset of relations with Putin”, which will only continue the tragedy of Russia and can become the tragedy of the whole European continent. ⬇️

Dependence on imported fossil fuels leaves our economies exposed. And citizens are paying the price. Electrification turns dependence into resilience. We will soon table our proposal to boost electrification across Europe. And today's Leaders' Statement sets the course towards COP31.

Today at the London Local Climate Action Summit, with record temperatures across Europe, the path forward is clear: 🍀climate ambition has to deliver on the ground.

Good exchange with Minister Danilo Šaranović. We discussed Montenegro’s path for EU accession and the need to deliver on time and remaining home affairs benchmarks. Montenegro is demonstrating strong political commitment. The Montenegrin people can count on the EU’s full support.

A special last #AGRIFISH under 🇨🇾 Presidency in my home country on 🇱🇺 National Day! We reviewed the market situation ahead of summer: fertiliser costs, climate risks & geopolitical tensions still weigh on farmers. Took stock of CAP & CMO progress. Work continues with the 🇮🇪 Presidency

A very good conversation with EP Vice-President Victor Negrescu, the driving force behind the European Parliament’s proposal for a new own resource based on online gambling. A final agreement on an ambitious next long-term #EUbudget depends on progress on the revenue side.

Today at E3G’s Climate Politics Forum, between Bonn and COP31, one message was clear: 👉🏼Multilateralism must be renewed, not abandoned. In a fragmented world, our climate, energy and technology systems remain deeply interdependent. CO₂ knows no borders. Neither can our answers. #LCAW

Listening to António Guterres today at London Climate Action Week. 👉🏼As always, a powerful voice for climate action and justice. The transition to a new model has no way back. 👉🏼Our responsibility is to make it happen faster, fairly, and for everyone.

✅ Closer and closer to the ‘military Schengen’. Today at SEDE and ITRE we approved the first regulatory framework to facilitate the mobility of troops, equipment and military support in Europe. 🌹 The socialists have managed to make military mobility go hand in hand with worker protection.

When you want to criticize Petr Pavel, keep in mind the development of the entire cyclical dispute: it starts with harassing Filip Turka, continues with the ego of Petr Macinka and ends with Andrej Babiš's unwillingness to tame him. Babiš's government changes established orders; the president reacts in a way that defends constitutional order. Period.
