Yesterday's #EUCO marked the end of another challenging season for 🇪🇪 & Europe.

EU leaders reflected on how to do even more to help 🇺🇦 and agreed that Ukraine must prevail!

Thanks to @KristenMichalPM & entire 🇪🇪 team! @EEinEU

Ukraine's humanitarian needs remain high. As time passes, we cannot lose our focus on:
- providing #Ukraine with comprehensive support
- calling Russia to account for its unprovoked&unjustified aggression
-honouring all who have lost their lives fighting for Ukraine's freedom

As we near 1000 days since Russia's aggression against #Ukraine, we must stay steadfast in our support.

Amb @KyllikeSillaste hosted @EEinEU,#EU, #UN, and Ukrainian representatives to unite our efforts for humanitarian aid and reconstruction.

Together we can make an impact!/1

Thank you Sweden for this insightful report on the real state of Russia's economy. EU sanctions are working. We need to keep going with them for as long as Russia's aggression against Ukraine continues. Must keep this issue firmly on the #ECOFIN agenda. @EEinEU

(🧵1/2) The story of a strong and resilient Russian economy is propaganda and a part of Russian warfare. A recent Swedish report shows that the sanctions are working. We must continue to limit Russia’s capacity to finance the war against Ukraine - @ElisabethSvan at #ECOFIN

It's a wrap!

My first European Council as 🇪🇪Perm Rep to the EU. Great cooperation w @KristenMichalPM, also at his first #EUCO. Thanks to the entire team from Tallinn&Brussels!

Key takeaway: the EU's commitment to supporting 🇺🇦, incl ahead of the winter, is stronger than ever.

Pleased to take part in a high-level panel at #EURegionsWeek on the specific security&economic challenges that 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹🇫🇮🇵🇱 face as neighbours to an aggressor state.

Emphasized the need to adjust to a new, more insecure reality & that EU #CohesionPolicy will play a crucial role.
