EU Member States have approved our 19th package of sanctions against Russia.

We’re keeping the pressure high on the aggressor.

For the first time we are hitting Russia’s gas sector - the heart of its war economy.

We will not relent until the people of Ukraine have a just and lasting peace.

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

Don't just take our word for it. Here's the verdict from GERMANY:

"A comprehensive increase in the EU budget is unacceptable at a time when all member states are making significant efforts to consolidate their national budgets. Therefore, we will not be able to accept the Commission's proposal."

Maroš Šefčovič, the European Commissioner for Trade, is on his way to Washington to meet with Howard Lutnick and Jamieson Greer.

The just-announced trip comes as Brussels tries it best to avoid the 30% tariffs announced by Donald Trump before the deadline of 1 August.
