Ursula Von der Layer -Dear Volodymyr @ZelenskyyUa, Europe is working harder than ever to strengthen Ukraine’s defence.Our new 🇪🇺🇺🇦 anti-ballistic programme can help rapidly scale up production.More defence support is coming. And as reforms in the Rada progress, more budget support too.We have €37 billion still available in this calendar year. In New York, my message to every leader is clear: we must all step up support for Ukraine’s defence.

Ursula Von der Layer -The 81st United Nations General Assembly opens against the backdrop of a new reality.

A multipolar, more transactional world, where the temptation to turn inward can be strong.

But it also opens with one certainty for Europe.

The challenges we face are too great, too complex and too interconnected for any nation to tackle alone.

That is why Europe will always choose outreach and cooperation.

With trusted and like-minded partners.

And through a strong multilateral system built to champion peace in today’s world.
