RT @vonderleyen: Together, we are bringing light to Ukraine!
Ukrainians can exchange their old bulbs at the post office for energy-efficient LED bulbs.
The EU is gladly providing 35 million of them.
Every kW of energy saved is precious to counter Russia's energy war.

The three values of Olympism are excellence, friendship and respect.
The exact opposite of what Russian & Belarusian regimes represent.
Welcoming their athletes means that #Olympics lose their true value.
Instead, we must help the real heroes win the war & bring peace back.
