I welcome the #sanctions the EU adopted against #Iran today for providing the Russian military with combat drones. This is not only a strong signal to Iran, but also to all those who plan to export arms to Russia and support Putin in his war of aggression against #Ukraine .

Great to exchange ideas with José Manuel Albares, Clingendael Inst. and Real Instituto Elcano experts, and Dutch and Spanish civil servants. We discussed various topics, including energy security, EU-NATO cooperation and strengthening of the Eurozone. Plenty of opportunity for further 🇳🇱🇪🇸 cooperation.

Great meeting with José Manuel Albares in The Hague. The Netherlands and #Spain are like-minded partners in the EU, NATO and UN. We aim to grow our cooperation for a strong and resilient Europe and in areas like human rights. 1/2 government.nl/documents/dipl…

Crucial that the EU continues to support Ukraine. At the #FAC we made two important decisions. The EU Military Assistance Mission will offer military trainings based on the needs identified by 🇺🇦 Armed Forces. This will support them in their resistance to Russia’s aggression. 1/2
