Today we continued our celebration of the EU's 2004 enlargement. For a special lunch I hosted Ambassadors from the Member States and from countries now on the path to EU accession. Their governments are working hard to make the changes needed to join our family. And we need them.

Watch Ukrainians dance.
For some of them, the dancing encouraged them to start walking and performing again, despite their injuries and pain❤️
Aren’t their strength of spirit and love for life admirable?
Another horrible russian war crime: attack on Odesa and Kharkiv region injuring at least 13 people in each of regions. Among them an 11-years-old boy. Two people killed in Kharkiv region. Another reminder how urgently we need air defense. And that we must stop terrorist russia.
Welcomed in Ukraine House brave Ukrainian marine Roman Hrybov, known for his famous phrase “Russian Warship Go F yourself” to Moskva ship (which is no longer a ship) who is promoting the film Life to the limit, and then will return to frontline. Inspired by his bravery 💙💛✊🏼🇺🇦
Russians killed at least 4 and injured at least 28 people in Odesa. And attacked Kharkiv again. Only more air defense to Ukraine and delivering it faster will save lives and stop aggressive terrorist russia. Please
