❝The price we pay as the EU, as NATO, is the price we can measure in currency, in money. The price they pay is measured in lives lost every day. So, we should stop complaining and step up and provide support, full stop.❞ 🗣 #NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to MEP’s #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦
Deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Over more than 70 years, she exemplified selfless leadership and public service. My deepest condolences to the Royal Family, to our NATO Allies the United Kingdom and Canada, and to the people of the Commonwealth.
Honoured to receive the applications for Finland’s & Sweden’s membership in NATO. This is a good day at a critical time for our security. Your applications are an historic step.
Wishing you all a peaceful & prosperous 2022.

Deeply saddened by the shooting in Oslo, the capital of our Ally Norway & my home town. We all have the right to love and be loved 🏳️🌈 Our free and open societies must be protected. NATO will continue to stand against extremism & terrorism in all its forms & manifestations.
#HolocaustRemembrance Day is a powerful reminder of the millions of innocent people who suffered and died in the most horrendous conditions. We honour their memory & stand up against hatred, intolerance & violence. #NeverAgain
I’ve had the privilege of working with Angela Merkel since the 1990’s. Always impressed by her ability to go straight to the point, find solutions, & move the agenda forward. Thank you for everything you have done for #NATO & for keeping the transatlantic bond strong.
Great meeting with @POTUS to prepare for our @nato Summit later this month. I thanked him for the US leadership in NATO’s response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. We agree that a strong transatlantic Alliance is the cornerstone for our security in a more competitive world.
Wrapping up an excellent visit to Canada, with thanks to PM @justinpjtrudeau for being such a warm & generous host. Canada makes key contributions to @nato & to international security. Thank you for all you do, including strong support to Ukraine, leading our multinational forces in Latvia, and increasing our awareness of evolving Arctic challenges.
Great meeting with @POTUS on European security with #NATO leaders @EmmanuelMacron, @OlafScholz, Mario Draghi, @AndrzejDuda, Boris Johnson & our #EU partners @charlesmichel & @ursulavonderleyen. We agree that any further aggression by #Russia against #Ukraine will have severe costs.
The NATO–Russia Council had a serious exchange on Russia’s military build-up in & around #Ukraine & implications for European security. #NATO Allies & #Russia agreed to explore a schedule of future meetings. Allies are ready to table proposals & seek constructive outcomes.
Great working weekend with Prime Minister @sanchezcastejon to prepare important decisions for our peace and security at the upcoming #NATOSummit in Madrid. Looking forward to mark #Spain’s 40 years in #NATO tomorrow. 🇪🇸
#Russia’s military build-up in and around #Ukraine undermines European security. #NATO Foreign Ministers stand united in our approach to Russia. The NATO-Russia Council next week is a positive sign & an opportunity for Moscow to show it is serious about dialogue and diplomacy.
Some snapshots from a few of this week’s great meetings, #Germany’s Foreign Minister @abaerbock visiting @nato the first day after taking office, in #France to meet Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian and Defence Minister @florenceparly & a late Friday night visit from my good friend @bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz. And the festive spirit is sneaking upon our headquarters.

Thanks to all our #NATO troops & veterans for your service this past year. Wishing all happy holidays and a peaceful New Year!
Climate change is a threat to international peace and security, and the time for action is now. We must reduce the impact of our militaries on the climate, and make our missions and capabilities even greener. @nato is stepping up. #COP26
