Kaja Kallas

Today’s agreement on civil registration and the Law on Foreigners marks an important step forward for the benefit of all people in Kosovo. It is essential to ensure continuity in delivery of public services.

Thank you to everyone who engaged constructively to make this possible. Going forward, implementing past agreements remains vital.

This progress creates new momentum for the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue, and I am ready to host a high-level meeting soon.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz hurts the global economy and helps Russia fund its war.

It is affecting our partners in the region and is dangerous for global energy supplies.

Today, EU Foreign Ministers will discuss how to better protect shipping in the region, including contributions from our Aspides naval mission.

Hezbollah’s decision to attack Israel in support of Iran endangers the entire region. Israel has the right to self-defence in line with international law.

At the same time, Israel’s heavy-handed response is causing mass displacement and is further destabilising a fragile situation.

When crisis strikes, Europe brings its citizens home.

Today, the first fully EU-funded flights have brought back European citizens stranded in the Middle East.

So far our EU Civil Protection Mechanism with the help of our Delegations on the ground have coordinated over 40 national flights, helping more than 4,100 EU citizens return home.

We are also tapping into emergency reserves to support 130,000 people in Lebanon, with the first aid deliveries expected...

The EU continues to hold Iran accountable.

Today, EU Member States ambassadors approved new sanctions targeting 19 regime officials and entities responsible for serious human rights violations.

As the Iran war continues, the EU will protect its interests and pursue those responsible for domestic repression. It also sends a message to Tehran that Iran’s future cannot be built on repression.

We see a new world order characterized by competition and coercive power politics, featuring military powers, who aim to establish spheres of influence.

How we respond to this moment will define us.

Our degree of success depends on how we deliver under our priorities and rally international support.

The EU and Switzerland are trusted partners.

It was a pleasure to be in Zurich to sign with @ignaziocassis new agreements deepening the EU’s foreign and security policy ties with Switzerland.

These will allow for regular high-level political dialogues and simplify procedures for Swiss personnel joining EU missions.

Together with Defence Minister Martin Pfister, we held the first such dialogue.

If a government attacks its own people, silences journalists, and curtails freedom, there are consequences.

This is why the European Union has now suspended visa-free travel for Georgian diplomats and officials over the country’s democratic backsliding and its crackdown on protesters.

We stand before an opportunity.

Europe can step onto the global stage united and strong, or resign ourselves to the sidelines.

Paraphrasing Winston Churchill in June 1940, this may not be Europe’s finest hour, but it is Europe’s hour of decision.

Tehran is now trying to export the war to as many countries as it can.

Today, EU Foreign Ministers and our Gulf partners will discuss what we can do together to break the cycle of violence.

The same drones that are attacking Kyiv, are now attacking our partners in the Middle East. So we will explore how we can support drone interceptor production.

Tehran’s strategy is to sow chaos and set the region on fire. By indiscriminately attacking its neighbours, the regime is making a strong case for its own demise.

The dream scenario would be a democratic Iran that poses no threat to its neighbours. But this outcome is far from certain. Right now, no one can predict which direction Iran will take.

Iran’s attacks of a number of countries in the Middle East are inexcusable.

The events must not lead to further escalation that could threaten the region, Europe and beyond, with unpredictable consequences.

We are taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of EU citizens in the region.

The EU expresses its solidarity with partners that have been attacked or affected. We will continue to contribute to all diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions and bring...

The death of Ali Khamenei is a defining moment in Iran’s history.

What comes next is uncertain. But there is now an open path to a different Iran, one that its people may have greater freedom to shape.

I’m in contact with partners, including those in the region that bear the brunt of Iran’s military actions, to find practical steps for de-escalation.

I will convene an extraordinary Foreign Affairs Council via video link on Sunday to address Iran and the rapidly unfolding events across the Middle East.

I have been in contact with our partners in the Gulf countries. The Iranian regime’s indiscriminate attacks against its neighbours carry the risk of dragging the region into a broader war and we condemn this.

It is essential that the war does not spread any further. The Iranian regime has choices to make.

The latest developments across the Middle East are perilous.

Iran’s regime has killed thousands. Its ballistic missile and nuclear programmes, along with support for terror groups, pose a serious threat to global security. The EU has adopted strong sanctions against Iran and supported diplomatic solutions, including on the nuclear issue.

I have spoken to Israel’s Foreign Minister Saar and other ministers in the region. The EU is also coordinating closely wi...

Four years into its war in Ukraine, Russia is not winning. By any measure, Moscow’s invasion is a total strategic failure.

Within the Coalition of the Willing, we are clear that the fastest way to end the war is to increase support for Ukraine and intensify pressure on Russia. Going after Russia shadow tanker fleet decimates Moscow’s war chest.

We must also flip the script in peace talks, away from pressure on Ukraine, to what Russia must to do for lasting...

In solidarity with the Ukrainian people, we raise the Ukrainian flag alongside the EU flag at @eudiplomacy HQ.

This is more than a symbol.
Ukraine’s future lies within the EU.
With our support, Ukrainians are resisting and holding firm.

The fastest path to end this war is more pressure on Russia and more support to Ukraine.

Let this be the last war anniversary we mark.

Täna on Eesti iseseisvuspäev.

Täna on kogu Eesti rahva pidupäev. Päev, mil mõtleme vabadusele ja sellele, kuidas meie esiisad ja -emad rebisid end 108 aastat tagasi Venemaa kütkest lahti ja hakkasid oma ideaale ellu viima.

Oleme nii lõpmata tänulikud oma iseseisvuse ja vabaduse eest, see annab meile jõudu aidata neid, kes oma iseseisvuse ja vabaduse eest võitlevad.

Elagu Eesti!

Everybody understands that diplomacy is preferable to war.
Yet after a year of talks, we still do not even have ceasefire.

It is not Ukraine that is the obstacle to peace, Russia is.
We must flip the script: from pressure on Ukraine to surrender territory to what Russia must do to meet the basic conditions for a just and lasted peace.

Four years into its war, Moscow has failed to achieve any of its strategic objectives.

The pressure in the peace talks seems to be falling on Ukraine. But if we want this war to stop and any peace to last, we need to see concessions from Russia.

It’s not Ukraine’s army that is the obstacle to peace, Russia’s army is.
