Europe stands with Ukraine and will contribute to its security. Strong Ukrainian forces are essential for lasting peace in Ukraine, and Europe will continue to train them.

Once a peace agreement is reached, Europe will also participate on the ground to ensure Ukraine’s security.

With the help of SAFE, our €150 billion defence fund, more equipment will be manufactured in Europe, creating jobs and contributing to Ukraine’s peace.

We will stand with Ukraine for as long as necessary. We want peace for Ukraine.

Today, we are proposing the largest trade deal ever with Mercosur, alongside a modernized agreement with Mexico. This would create the world’s biggest free trade area, strengthen EU influence, and open up billions in export opportunities.

In a world of rising trade tensions, this is how we stay competitive, secure, and sustainable.
Good for citizens. Good for companies. A strong choice for Europe.

The European way of doing business.
