Tehran’s streets, and cities around the world, echo with the footsteps of Iranian women and men demanding freedom.
Freedom to speak, to gather, to travel and above all to live freely.
Europe stands fully behind them.

Even as the regime tries to limit communication, the world still sees the courageous people of Iran standing up. We hear them demanding their dignity, their pride and their freedom. We are with them.
This is this generation's moment and they will change history.

Good discussion today with European leaders on our support to Ukraine, its security, and the reconstruction of the country.
Ultimately, the prosperity of a free Ukrainian state lies in the accession to the EU.
It’s also a key security guarantee in its own right.
