Large shopping mall in Kremenchuk with hundreds of civilians inside has been hit by a Russian strike. Russia is a disgrace to humanity and it must face consequences. The response should be more heavy arms for Ukraine, more sanctions on Russia, and more businesses leaving Russia.

The free world must stay strong and united in support for Ukraine. It is imperative that the @G7 and @NATO demonstrate commitment. We cannot sell out. 🇬🇧🇺🇦 Read my joint op-ed with @DmytroKuleba in @Telegraph 💬 telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/06…

This 7 y.o. Ukrainian kid was sleeping peacefully in Kyiv until a Russian cruise missile blasted her home. Many more around Ukraine are under strikes. G7 summit must respond with more sanctions on Russia and more heavy arms for Ukraine. Russia’s sick imperialism must be defeated.

Ukraine will prevail. Europe will prevail. Today marks the beginning of a long journey that we will walk together. The Ukrainian people belong to the European family. Ukraine’s future is with the EU. We stand together for peace. My message with ⁦⁦@JosepBorrellF

I spoke with @JosepBorrellF in the run-up to the historic EU summit this week. Ukraine’s EU candidate status will draw a line under decades of ambiguity and set it in stone: Ukraine is Europe, not part of the ‘Russian world’. Grateful to HR/VP for supporting Ukraine on our path.

Spoke with Slovenian Foreign Minister @tfajon to thank her for backing Ukraine’s EU candidacy bid. We also agreed on the need to accelerate the adoption of the seventh EU sanctions package on Russia. I invited Slovenia to take part in rebuilding one of Ukraine’s war-torn regions.

I welcomed EU Special Representative for Human Rights @EamonGilmore yesterday in Kyiv. We discussed ways to ensure justice and accountability for the war crimes committed in the course of Russia’s aggression. The EU actively supports efforts to bring all perpetrators to account.

Useful meeting with @CarloBonomi, President of Italy’s main business association @Confindustria_. War is a time of challenges, but also a time of opportunities. We will welcome more Italian businesses and encourage them to explore new opportunities that Ukraine has to offer.

On #WorldRefugeeDay I welcomed UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador @BenStiller at @MFA_Ukraine. We discussed ways to address acute needs of Ukrainians who fled Russian aggression. I stressed that Russia’s forceful displacement of Ukrainian citizens and children requires a robust response.

Data proves that working in Russia damages business reputation. According to @EdelmanPR, companies pulling out of Russia see a 41% increase in trust, while those remaining see a 38% decline. I reiterate my call on all businesses: leave Russia, save your brands, and make profits.

Russia has no right to threaten Lithuania. Moscow has only itself to blame for the consequences of its unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine. We commend Lithuania’s principled stance and stand firmly by our Lithuanian friends. @GLandsbergis

I spoke with @JeppeKofod who assured me that Denmark supports granting Ukraine EU candidate status. Grateful to Jeppe for support. I told him that this decision inspires every Ukrainian, including those currently at the frontline.

European history in the making. We welcome @EU_Commission’s positive opinion concluding that Ukraine should be granted EU candidate status at the EU summit #EUCO next week. This will be a vivid proof of European leadership and a huge boost for Ukraine’s further transformations.

Провів розмову з @SecBlinken. Я висловив вдячність за вже надану США військову допомогу Україні та наголосив на терміновій потребі у більш регулярному постачанні більшої кількості важкого озброєння. Ми також скоординували наступні кроки задля посилення санкційного тиску на Росію.
