We’re rewriting Europe’s business rules for the first time since 2004. This once-in-a-generation moment will define the prices you pay, the tech you use, and how companies grow for the next 20 years. Just one week left to have your say ↓ link.europa.eu/XyfjJY

TrophyLab is now live. MoD has launched a unified state platform for the analysis of captured Russian weapons and military equipment. The portal connects defense manufacturers, scientists, engineers, laboratories, and partner nations, providing verified users with round-the-clock access to technical documentation, blueprints, and research on enemy systems. The launch of the TrophyLab platform is another significant contribution by Ukraine to international defense cooperation with partner countries. From now on, the entire civilized world will have access to the secrets of Russian weapons and military equipment, helping to stop the enemy and achieve victory in the war. 🔗 trophylab.mod.gov.ua/en/

🇺🇦 Belgium was honoured to welcome President @ZelenskyyUa and his delegation, including Foreign Minister @Andrii_Sybiha, to Brussels today. These are decisive months for Ukraine and for Europe's security. Belgium's message is unchanged: we stand with Ukraine - politically, militarily and in the hard work of rebuilding what this war is destroying. Good talks, in a spirit of friendship and resolve. Україна не сама. Бельгія поруч. @BelgiumMFA @BelgiumUkraine

🇺🇦🇲🇩 Important day yesterday as Ukraine and Moldova took another important step on their path towards EU membership. For their citizens, this has been a moment of hope and recognition. For the European Union, it is also a clear geopolitical choice: we want to strengthen our continent and shape our own future. 🇲🇪 At the same time, Montenegro continues to move forward on its European path, showing that progress remains possible when commitment is matched by reforms, as indeed merits remain the driving force of the enlargement process. The same goes for Albania.🇦🇱 Enlargement makes Europe stronger. But it also requires us to prepare the Union itself. A larger European Union must remain capable of taking decisions, defending its interests and delivering for its citizens. @BelgiumMFA @BelgiuminEU

🇺🇦 Last night Russia fired missiles into Kyiv once again, setting ablaze a historically and religiously significant cathedral. In those same hours, missiles tore through homes and killed families in their sleep. Kyiv’s Pechersk Lavra cathedral has stood for nearly a thousand years. There is no military logic here. Only suffering inflicted on people and on a heritage that belongs to all of humanity. This cannot pass without consequence. Those who order these attacks must one day answer for them. Belgium stands with Ukraine: keeping up the pressure on Moscow, pursuing accountability for these crimes, and helping to rebuild what is being destroyed. @BelgiumMFA @BelgiumUkraine @Andrii_Sybiha

The wait is over! 😃 ⚽ Today, the 🇧🇪 Belgian Red Devils take to the field for their opening match @FIFAWorldCup. 🏆 The Belgian community in Shanghai & their Chinese Friends wish them a great match and a fantastic journey in the competition!🤝 #RedDevils  #FIFAWorldCup

Today, the European Union took a major step forward. All Member States agreed to open the first accession negotiations cluster with Ukraine and Moldova. At the first Intergovernmental Conference on Monday, we will open the cluster on fundamentals; the backbone of the accession process. It covers the core values and principles on which the EU is built, from the rule of law to strong democratic institutions. This is a recognition of the determination, courage and hard work shown by both countries in advancing reforms, even in the face of immense challenges. And a signal that the EU’s offer of peace, stability and opportunity is unmatchable. Enlargement is a strategic choice. By bringing our nations closer together, we strengthen peace, security and prosperity across our continent. In a world marked by growing uncertainty, a larger European Union is in our common interest. Enlargement remains one of the EU’s greatest success stories and our best investment in our shared future.

EXCLUSIVE: NATO countries are considering a new €70 billion military funding commitment for Ukraine that would be unveiled during the alliance’s summit in Ankara next month, four NATO diplomats told POLITICO. politico.eu/article/nato-a…

NEW: Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s offer to negotiate an end to the war and reiterated the Kremlin’s commitment to fulfilling its war goals. Putin also reiterated his belief that Russian forces’ military victory is inevitable, despite available data indicating otherwise. Other Key Takeaways: Putin’s claims about the battlefield are incompatible with available evidence and suggest that the Russian military command is not providing Putin accurate intelligence about the reality of Russian battlefield performance. Russian advances have largely stagnated while Ukrainian forces have achieved some tactical successes in 2026. Russian officials, including Putin, are again leaning on the lack of clear information about the August 2025 Alaska Summit to falsely portray Russia as willing to negotiate with Ukraine. Putin also used his SPIEF remarks to posture economic strength, ignoring Russia’s economic realities from over four years of war. Ukrainian forces are expanding their battlefield air interdiction (BAI) campaign to strike Russian naval vessels and railway infrastructure in occupied southern Ukraine and in the Sea of Azov. Romanian and Ukrainian authorities reported that Russian electronic warfare (EW) systems caused a Ukrainian unmanned surface vehicle (USV) to enter Romanian territorial waters at the Port of Constanta on June 5. Ukrainian forces recently advanced in the Pokrovsk direction. Russian forces recently advanced in the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical area. Ukrainian forces continue strikes against Russian military assets in border regions. Russian forces launched two cruise missiles and 216 drones toward Ukraine overnight.

Pendant que certains responsables politiques et journalistes défendent Xenia Fedorova, ancienne figure de Russia Today, plus de 3 600 citoyens demandent déjà une chose simple : l’examen de son statut de séjour. Pas une décision automatique. Pas une chasse aux Russes. Un examen administratif transparent concernant une personne liée à un média de propagande du Kremlin. J’invite celles et ceux qui parlent du sujet à relayer cette demande : @rglucks1 @NathalieLoiseau @NTenzer @LoeilduKremlin @BHL @Arjakovsky @PeurAvion @AmourskyCyrille @conspiration #nafo francophones ou pas La pétition est ici : c.org/LBbknMXh9g

Russia’s hypocritical claims that it targets military objectives ring hollow. It has struck WFP &UNHCR warehouses in Dnipro, killing humanitarian workers & destroying supplies for people on the frontline. Attacks against humanitarian personnel/civilians/infrastructure must stop!

Today, we sanctioned extremist settlers in the West Bank for their violations of human rights. They undermine the two-state solution, a prospect that is increasingly under threat. We defend international law. We act for peace. We support the two-state solution. Read more: link.europa.eu/XfVmYW

We are sanctioning additional members of Hamas. The sanctioned individuals influence Hamas’ military wing. They bear responsibility for its violent actions. Hamas’ disarmament is essential to set Gaza on a path towards peace. Read More: link.europa.eu/n77rnB
