We welcome the agreement between Rwanda and the DRC supported by President Trump.

The EU is ready to support the peace process, President Kagame.

Because it will pave way for regional integration – and investment.

Starting right now.

Expressed my full solidarity with Foreign Minister @radek-sikorski.bsky.social and Poland in the aftermath of Russia's provocations. I am glad Dutch F-35 pilots were able to contribute to the security of the Polish-NATO airspace. We stand shoulder to shoulder to counter the Russian threat.

Last night in Poland we saw the most serious European airspace violation by Russia since the war began, and indications suggest it was intentional, not accidental.

I am in contact with NATO Secretary General Rutte and Poland FM Sikorski.

The EU stands in full solidarity with Poland. (1/2)

Without fear of any criminal or administrative sanctions against the organisers or participants.
