Today, on World Press Freedom Day, we honour the women and men who dedicate their lives to the truth. They work tirelessly to keep us well-informed. They hold power to account. They speak up. They challenge the status quo. And sometimes they pay the ultimate price for it.

Eighty years ago, enemies laid down their arms. Since then, we, Europeans, have built something extraordinary: a Union of peace, democracy, and solidarity. An anchor of stability. Our Union was born as a peace project, and it remains one today.

I had a good call with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський today. I welcome and support the 30-day ceasefire. Europe will remain by Ukraine's side, with the aim to strengthen its hand at the negotiating table, and help bring about a just, lasting and comprehensive peace.
