Russia's war against Ukraine brings pain and uncertainty. It also influences high energy bills for Europeans.

One of the main answers is to end European dependency on Russian fossil fuel imports by getting more green, renewable energy.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine, Europe has been preparing for the worst for this winter.

We worked on ensuring gas supplies — over 90% of Europe's gas storage is now full.

And we've found alternative suppliers, reliable partners we can rely on for the long term.

Russia's barbaric bombing continues in Ukraine.

We are making the Kremlin pay for its cruelty and stepping up our pressure.

Today we propose the 9th package of sanctions.

It complements the existing sanctions that are already biting hard.

We are proposing to strengthen equality bodies, so they can fight discrimination in Europe more effectively.

Our proposals will empower equality bodies to become independent, well resourced and hubs of expert knowledge on equality.

RT @vonderleyen: 🌈 Proud of the new rules we are presenting today on the recognition of parenthood in the EU.

We want to help all families and children in cross-border situations.

Because if you are parent in one country, you are parent in every country.

All children should have the same rights irrespective of their type of family.

Today, we propose rules on the recognition of parenthood for families travelling or moving to another EU country.

If you are parent in one country, you are parent in every country.

RT @vonderleyen: Europe is strong when Italy is strong. And vice-versa.

This is something you often explained, dear Mario Monti.

You have strived to keep Italy at the heart of Europe.

And you have made Italy’s voice heard, and respected in all EU capitals. https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1RDGlapNZWOJL

The EU has today requested the establishment of panels at the @wto on the ongoing trade disputes with China over trade restrictions on Lithuanian exports and high-tech patents.

The Chinese measures are highly damaging to our businesses and is our duty to stand up for our rights.
