Hi @jannoshua.bsky.social, The EU KIDS Act proposes a gradual and age-appropriate approach to social social media in the EU. In short, no social media before 13, no personal account before 15. Second, it imposes safety by design on the services children use most. More here: link.europa.eu/FH397R

The agreement to release €6.6 billion from the European Peace Facility for Ukraine is excellent news. It means more support, from training to equipment. It complements what we are doing through our Ukraine support packages – for the state and for defence. More is coming from our side. Very soon.
