Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu

Today we raised 9.1 billion euros for the people fleeing the invasion, inside Ukraine and abroad. And more will come!

We will continue providing support.

And once the bombs have stopped falling, we will help the people of Ukraine rebuild their country.

Ukraine belongs in the European family.

And today, Ukraine takes another important step towards EU membership.

We will accelerate this process as much as we can, while ensuring that all conditions are respected.

The EU has allocated 1 billion euro to support the Ukrainian armed forces with weapons.

And more will come. We will now propose another €500 million to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces. 

Ukrainian people are holding up the torch of freedom for all of us.

We can never match the sacrifice of the Ukrainian people.
 
But we are mobilizing our economic power to make Putin pay.

We have imposed heavy sanctions against Russia & are already preparing the 6th wave.

Russia will descend, while Ukraine is marching towards a European future.

It was important to start my visit in Bucha.

Because in Bucha our humanity was shattered.

My message to Ukrainian people:

Those responsible for the atrocities will be brought to justice.

Your fight is our fight.

I’m in Kyiv today to tell you that Europe is on your side.

Nobody can be neutral when faced with such naked aggression against civilians.

This is not limited to Putin's war.

This will also define how we globally treat such violations of international law in the future.

This was our message to China at our summit last Friday.

We must increase pressure on Putin and the Russian government again.

So we propose to tighten our sanctions even further.

They limit the Kremlin´s political and economic options.

They affect Russia much harder than us.

And they will not be our last sanctions.

Europe stands with Ukraine, more than ever.

We stand with Ukrainians in their devastated cities. With the millions who flee the invader.

We will do all we can so they can safely return home.
This is what @JosepBorrellF and I will tell President @ZelenskyyUa in Kyiv this week.

Today over 40 countries apply sanctions like these.

To take a clear stand is crucial for the whole world.

A clear stand against Putin’s war of choice.

Against the massacre of civilians.

Against the violation of the fundamental principles of the world order.

Slava Ukrainje

Finally, we are also proposing further listings of individuals.

We are also working on additional sanctions, including on oil imports, and reflecting on some of the ideas of the Member States, like taxes or specific payment channels such as an escrow account.
