RT @EmmanuelMacron: Bienvenue à Paris, cher @jonasgahrstore.
Après ma visite à Olso en juin et la signature de notre partenariat stratégique, la Norvège et la France approfondissent encore leur coopération.
En matière de défense et de sécurité, en l’inscrivant notamment dans le cadre de la dissuasion avancée par un nouvel arrangement de défense.
En avançant aussi sur l’énergie, l’espace et l’industrie.
Face aux menaces sur notre continent et au-delà, les Européens ont besoin d’être plus forts et plus souverains. Notre partenariat renforcé vient le démontrer.

RT @FedorovMykhailo: Today, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine ratified the Memorandum of Understanding on Macro-Financial Assistance to Ukraine under the Ukraine Support Loan and the Ukraine Support Loan Agreement.
This opens the way for the EUR 90 billion Ukraine Support Loan package for 2026-2027, of which EUR 60 billion is directed to defence needs.
In 2026 alone, Ukraine expects EUR 28.3 billion in defence support, including a first EUR 5.9 billion defence tranche expected to support Ukrainian-made drones, strengthen defence industrial capacities, and ensure urgent, high-impact deliveries to the frontline.
Ukraine’s defence requirements remain significant. Every euro invested in Ukraine’s defence strengthens the security of Europe.
Grateful to the European Union and its Member States for their leadership and continued support. At the same time, Ukraine’s defence needs continue to exceed available financing.

RT @ZelenskyyUa: I am grateful to all the MPs who so promptly ratified the agreement with the European Union on €90 billion in support for Ukraine over two years. These funds will strengthen our resilience and help protect the lives of our people, rebuild what has been destroyed by Russian strikes, and defend our independence. This was one of the most important votes – one that demonstrates the constructive nature of our joint work and our readiness to hear one another. Unity in Ukraine is what always works for Ukraine. I am also grateful to our European partners for their readiness to stand with Ukraine and provide meaningful support for our defense, our diplomacy, and our recovery. Ukraine is defending Europe with all its strength, and full support for Ukraine will certainly strengthen all of Europe as well. Glory to Ukraine!

RT @Denys_Shmyhal: The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine ratified the Memorandum of Understanding on Macro-Financial Assistance to Ukraine under the Ukraine Support Loan and the Ukraine Support Loan Agreement, opening the way for a major new phase of EU support for Ukraine.
The EUR 90 billion Ukraine Support Loan package for 2026-2027, including EUR 45 billion expected already in 2026, is not only about macro-financial stability and defence. It is also about strengthening Ukraine’s resilience in wartime.
Reliable financing means stronger energy resilience, continued recovery of critical infrastructure, greater capacity to withstand russian attacks, and better preparedness for the next heating season.
A resilient energy system is a matter of national security. Ukraine deeply values the unity and leadership of the European Union and its Member States standing with us in this difficult time.

Верховна Рада України ратифікувала Меморандум про взаєморозуміння щодо макрофінансової допомоги Україні в межах Ukraine Support Loan та відповідну Кредитну угоду, відкривши шлях до нового масштабного етапу підтримки України з боку ЄС.
Пакет Ukraine Support Loan обсягом 90 млрд євро на 2026-2027 роки, з яких 45 млрд євро очікуються вже у 2026 році, — це не лише про макрофінансову стабільність і оборону. Це й про посилення стійкості України в умовах війни.
Надійне фінансування означає посилення енергетичної стійкості, продовження відновлення критичної інфраструктури, більшу здатність протистояти російським атакам та кращу підготовку до наступного опалювального сезону.
Стійка енергосистема – це питання національної безпеки. Україна глибоко цінує єдність і лідерство Європейського Союзу та його держав-членів, які залишаються поруч із нами у цей складний час.

RT @SergiiMarchenk3: Ukraine has finalized all necessary legal procedures to unlock up to €90b in EU financial support under the Ukraine Support Loan framework for 2026–2027. Grateful to all the MPs who so promptly ratified the agreement.
This instrument will play a critical role in safeguarding macro-financial stability & strengthening 🇺🇦’s defense capabilities amid the full-scale war.
The first tranche of €3.2b is expected within the coming weeks.
Importantly, repayment of the loan principal will be linked to future russian reparations and compensation mechanisms.
I appreciate the 🇪🇺’s steadfast support and long-term commitment to Ukraine.
