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.

Finland is seeking election as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the term 2029–2030. 🕊️ Global stability depends on shared rules. We are ready to contribute by advancing peace, defending international law, and building partnerships for a safer future. 🇫🇮 🇺🇳

Kaja Kallas: We can’t be mediators because we are defending the interests of Europe and the interests of Ukraine, because Ukraine is also in Europe. We can’t be mediators. We can’t be neutral, treating them equally, because we have been clearly on Ukraine’s side.
