Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu

Glad to take part in a lively discussion at #GlobalCitizenNOW, on addressing today’s interrelated challenges.

Important to bring together government, cultural and business leaders to discuss defeating poverty, protecting the planet and joining forces to support Ukraine.

🇺🇦 Today I celebrate the vibrant and rich Ukrainian culture by wearing a Vyshyvanka.

Every 3rd Thursday of May, people wear this traditional cloth as a expression of unity and national identity.

In these difficult times, we stand with our Ukrainian friends.

Very good to see Mayor of Warsaw @trzaskowski_ again after our successful #StandUpForUkraine  event.

Thank you for your solidarity towards the people of Ukraine.

We will continue to support you and all other EU cities in welcoming the people fleeing the war.

Good conversation with @MichealMartinTD on the Protocol.

The EU and Ireland are on the same page: international agreements cannot be disapplied unilaterally.

The UK needs to work with us to find joint, workable solutions.

The @EU_Commission is playing its part.

Good phone call with @ZelenskyyUa

We discussed step by step the EU’s plan for relief and reconstruction in Ukraine put forward yesterday by the @EU_Commission. 

A new disbursement of macro-financial assistance is coming very soon. We continue to stand firmly by Ukraine’s side.

Obtaining a permit for wind projects can take up to 9 years
 
We can’t afford to wait that long.
 
Our #REPowerEU proposal of today fundamentally improves the permitting process.

We will increase the EU-wide target for renewable energy from 40 to 45% by 2030.
 
We are also doubling our domestic hydrogen production target.
 
We aim to produce, transport and import a total of 20 million tons of renewable hydrogen by 2030.

Glad to be in Esbjerg, where 🇩🇰🇧🇪🇩🇪🇳🇱 are making the North Sea Europe’s green power plant.
 
The message to industry is clear: the moment to step up investment in offshore wind is now.

And with #REPowerEU, we are creating the right conditions to make this a 🇪🇺 success.

Reconstruction should combine investment with reforms.
 
In time it will help Ukraine on its 🇪🇺 path
 
We propose a reconstruction platform led by Ukraine and @EU_Commission.
 
Bringing together EU Member States, international donors and financial institutions and other partners.

We will continue to be by Ukraine's side - throughout this war and when they start rebuilding.
 
We are proposing new macro-financial assistance for Ukraine of up to €9 billion in 2022.

Member States are increasing defence spending.

This money should be spent in a coordinated way and address capability gaps identified by the EU and NATO.

We will set up a taskforce with Member States to coordinate immediate replenishment and procurement needs.

Our Union must be a safe place for everyone.

I thanked Prime Minister @kishida230 for the admirable solidarity Japan showed by diverting some of its LNG supplies to Europe.
 
It was at a crucial time for us, at the height of the European heating season.
 
We will not forget this.

We agreed to cooperate more intensely on infrastructure.
 
In the Indo-Pacific region, as elsewhere, the needs are huge and the options, limited.
 
I would like to work with Japan on identifying good projects under #GlobalGateway

We will use our Strategic Partnership Agreement to diversify and strengthen our supply chains.
 
Some materials and technologies have become essential to our economy and everyday lives. Like semiconductors.

We must be able to count on trustworthy supply chains.

The Indo-Pacific is a thriving region.

It is also a theatre of tensions.

The EU wants to take a more active role in the Indo-Pacific.

We want to take more responsibility in a region so vital to our prosperity.

We will discuss:

• Our joint work for leadership in digital technologies

• Efforts to create diversified, sustainable and reliable supply chains

• Infrastructure projects countries and people can trust and benefit from with #GlobalGateway
