I am following the situation in Georgia with great concern and condemn the violence on the streets of Tbilisi. The Georgian people want a European future for their country. Georgia is at a crossroads. It should stay the course on the road to Europe.

A generation of Cypriots experiences every day what it means to be in the EU. From opportunities for young people and natural heritage protection to economy and trade. EU membership has transformed Cyprus, for the better and for good ↓

Dear @Christodulides , it's moving to be in Cyprus today. 20 years of EU membership have made Cyprus stronger. And you've made Europe stronger, too. Cyprus is not only one of the places where European culture was born. It's one of our Union's gateways to the world.

Czechia’s accession was a promise of freedom and stability, peace and prosperity. And in the twenty years that followed, this promise has been fulfilled. Dear @prezidentpavel , very glad to be in Prague today to celebrate 20 years of your EU membership.

Ukraine is carrying a heavy burden on its shoulders for all of us. Today, we disburse an additional €1.5 bn, under the €50 bn Ukraine Facility. This is vital to keep Ukraine's state & services running, while it fights back the aggressor. Europe remains united and resolute.

With the right political action, we can trigger a new surge of European competitiveness. At the last #EUCO , EU leaders gave us a clear mandate to turn this political will into action. So Europe remains the global beating heart of industry & innovation ↓

Russia’s hybrid attacks are not just about Finland's security. This is about the security of the entire EU. This is why I was here today. To tell you that Europe stands by your side. For the security of the borders and to support the border regions.
