But what will Germany do if Russia does *not* seriously engage in negotiations, and continues to attack Germany and our allies? That is the critical question Germany fails to answer — and that failure emboldens Moscow and guarantees they will continue to escalate their attacks. #Germany #Russia #Negotiations #DE #RU

If the necessary conditions are met, we can reopen the strait, and normal maritime traffic can resume within seven days. The actions that the US needs to take are not new; we previously outlined all of them in the memorandum of understanding. If the American side is serious about reaching an agreement and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, everything is now ready on our side. On the seventh day, we will begin negotiations with the US to reach a final agreement on issues agreed upon by both sides. It would be better if we reached an agreement with Washington before the US midterm elections. #StraitOfHormuz #Iran #TrumpAdministration

Montenegro is now in the final stretch of its EU accession negotiations. I had a call with Prime Minister @MickeySpajic to discuss the remaining steps. To successfully conclude negotiations, it is crucial to preserve political unity and stability inside Montenegro, keep up the #Montenegro #EUEngagement #PoliticalUnity #ME

My assessment is clear: Russia will continue this war as long as Vladimir Putin remains in power. He chose this war, continues to pursue it, and in September 2026 was still publicly presenting Russia as winning while rejecting negotiations with Ukraine’s current leadership.

Sweden’s support for Ukraine is unwavering. Today I stood behind my dear friend and colleague @andrii_sybiha ahead of the #UNSC meeting, to call on Russia to immediately stop its aggression and finally engage in meaningful negotiations. https://t.co/aDIJWbKY7j #Sweden #Ukraine #Russia #SE #UA #RU

Avant que les leakers ne fassent n'importe quoi sur RL et que cela affecte tout le monde sans raison, et surtout les joueurs: Nous explorons toutes les options et nous ecoutons les projets, d'autant plus les 3 orgs françaises. Il y a deja plusieurs offres concrètes et nous attendons les autres - en voulant considérer proprement chaque projet sur le long terme. Les joueurs feront leur choix en fonction de tous les paramètres et vous vous doutez bien que dans tous les cas cela ne sera pas facile pour eux au vu de l'affecte qu'ils ont pour leurs structures respectives. Cela va probablement prendre un peu de temps pour les discussions, negotiations puis la prise de décision. Cela serait bien de respecter les joueurs et n'écoutez pas les leakers car on ne leakera rien :) Merci à tous ! #Esports #Gaming #Joueurs

Støre, Stubb & others must give their negotiators clear instructions: don’t allow a few countries opposed to rules to set the ceiling for everyone else. Secure a mandate to negotiate a new treaty—and, if consensus is once again used as a veto, take negotiations elsewhere #Negotiations #Treaty #Consensus #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

The real test for these 20 states comes in Nov. At the CCW RevCon, states can launch negotiations on legally binding rules for autonomous weapons. The US, Russia & Israel remain firmly opposed to new binding rules and are working hard to stop any governments from moving forward. #AutonomousWeapons #CCWRevCon #Disarmament #US #RU #IL

Spoke to President Marcos of the Philippines @bongbongmarcos. We just agreed on a 🇪🇺🇵🇭 free trade deal! This comes just 3 years after my visit to Manila to relaunch the negotiations.

Europe is still refusing to play its cards, afraid of “escalation”. But if Europe enters into negotiations empty-handed — Putin would, as always, escalate. Europe might then be pressured into snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. https://t.co/SjzBpMGfNl #Europe #Putin #Negotiations #EU #RU

Speaking at Greaves summer school I said: Sinn Féin’s focus in the Good Friday Agreement negotiations was to get rid of The Government of Ireland Act. This was the legislation by which London claimed sovereignty in Ireland. We raised this consistently with the British government https://t.co/a9lHeBmtPk #SinnFein #GoodFridayAgreement #Ireland #IE #GB

1 in 6 jobs in Czechia depends on trade beyond the EU - the potential is only growing. The new trade landscape is accelerating our negotiations.
