Russia: We condemn the politically motivated prison sentence of 5 years and 6 months of RU journalists for participating in activities affiliated w/ Navalny's FBK. Favorskaya, Gabov, Karelin, Kriger & all political prisoners must be released immediately & unconditionally.

Congratulations to @DanielNoboa on his victory in Ecuador's Presidential elections. They were marked by high voter turnout and orderly organisation. The EU contributed with the Observation Mission @moeUEecuador25, which will remain in the country for post-electoral follow-up.

We share more than geography with the Western Balkans — we share responsibility. Our security and stability bind us close together. Tonight, I am meeting with Foreign Ministers from the Western Balkans and the EU to discuss security and defence cooperation.

The EU extends its heartfelt condolences to the families affected by the tragic incident at the Jet Set nightclub. We stand in solidarity with the Dominican people and join them in national mourning during this difficult time.

We welcome the announcement of a temporary ceasefire by the Myanmar military and other parties to the conflict. It is a much needed step in ensuring rapid, safe and unimpeded access to humanitarian assistance for the victims of the catastrophic earthquake.

The EU is deeply concerned about the further narrowing of the space for civil society in Hong Kong. We are aware of pressure put on the Democratic Party to disband, while the independent polling institute PORI has suspended independent research activities. (1/2)

The EU welcomes the EAC-SADC Summit. Cessation of hostilities, provision of humanitarian assistance, respect for IHL, securitization of Goma, peaceful resolution of the conflict through the Luanda-Nairobi process and respect of territorial integrity are paramount.

HRVP @kajakallas met with @omarpaganini. Uruguay played a key role in the EU-Mercosur agreement, the most ambitious partnership our regions have negotiated. Trusted allies like Uruguay 🇪🇺🇺🇾, who believe in democracy and multilateralism, are more crucial than ever.

Belarus: Denis Salmanovich has been held in a punishment cell for more than 2 months despite his life-threatening health condition. Belarus must provide adequate healthcare to all prisoners. We call for the release of Denis and of all other political prisoners.

The brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters, journalists and politicians tonight in Tbilisi is unacceptable. Georgia falls short of any expectation from a candidate country. The EU stands with the people of Georgia in their fight for freedom and democracy.

Belarus: The EU is relieved to see Palina Sharenda-Panasyuk finally free. We share the joy of her family and hope for a speedy improvement of her health which deteriorated immensely in detention. We call on the Lukashenka regime to release all political prisoners.
