A great honour to meet again in Ukraine! #razomdoperemogi 🇺🇦🤝🇱🇹
Met with the delegation of the European Parliament within the framework of the Ukraine-EU Parliamentary Association Committee. We discussed key issues for our country and Europe.
🔹 Military support. The EU has already allocated nearly €50 billion in military aid to Ukraine. It is crucial to ensure stable and timely arms deliveries, strengthen air defence, and support Ukraine’s defence industry.
🔹 Financial assistance. The EU has approved €45 billion under the Ukraine Facility. We expect a swift disbursement of funds to support the economy and recovery efforts.
🔹 Sanctions. Further pressure on russia must be increased, particularly in the energy sector, LNG, and against companies that help russia circumvent restrictions.
🔹 EU accession negotiations. Ukraine has met all conditions to open negotiation clusters. We expect this step during Poland’s Presidency of the EU Council.
I am grateful to the European Parliament for its unwavering support for Ukraine. Together, we are working for shared security, development, and victory! 🇺🇦🇪🇺

⚡️"I am appealing to the USA, France and Britain - we need to speed up the delivery of the announced packages," - Zelenskyi.
"We need to carry out a maximum of counterattack work, this includes the creation of a buffer zone in the Kursk region."

Important discussions in Riga with @EvikaSilina, @kajakallas and @Bundeskanzler on most pressing defense & security issues, support to Ukraine, EU agenda, and key areas, where 🇱🇹 🇱🇻 🇪🇪 🇩🇪 can scale-up cooperation.
War on European soil and daily suffering unleashed by Russia is something we cannot become accustomed to. The cost for all of us, the democracies, will be much higher if Russia's aggression is not met with full determination to support Ukraine whatever victory takes.
Historical moment at the very beginning of #NATOsummit. Welcome, #Sweden! Congratulations, #NATO! Congratulations to all citizens of the Baltic region – our security becomes stronger with Sweden on board!

Greetings to Belarusians celebrating #DzenVoli. Let the independence declared 105 years ago be an inspiration for these days. Let the bravery of Belarusians resisting Lukashenko's regime & sabotaging its involvement in Putin's war in Ukraine be contagious. We #StandWithBelarus.
🇱🇹 celebrates 33rd anniversary of restored Independence. On 11 March 1990 critical decisions were made by brave lithuanians. It marked a fundamental shift in 🇱🇹 history & put 🇱🇹 on a path towards Europe & the family of world’s democratic countries. Our dream was fulfilled!
