Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu

This morning Ukrainian President @ZelenskyyUa updated us on Russia’s attacks on Ukraine.

We admire his leadership and the Ukrainian people’s resilience.

The G7 has shown remarkable unity.

We agreed that we will stand with 🇺🇦 for as long as it takes.

Very happy to meet my friend @JustinTrudeau
 
🇪🇺🇨🇦 ties are getting stronger and stronger.
 
Looking forward to tap into our full potential of our cooperation.

Notably on LNG, green hydrogen and critical raw material.
 
We will explore all this further in the coming weeks.

Last year we committed to stepping up investments in sustainable infrastructure.
 
Today these investments are more needed than ever.

Europe’s answer is #GlobalGateway.
 
€300 billion of public and private funds, invested in full transparency and partnership.

The biggest driver of inflation is energy prices.

In Europe, our response is #RePowerEU:

Supply diversification, energy savings and renewables.

We work intensively with allies and partners around the world.

We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes

The negative global impact of Russia’s war will be front and centre of our exchanges at the G7.

A word on @Europe2022FR, dear @emmanuelmacron
 
Together we achieved so much.
 
From 6 packages of sanctions against Russia to progress on #EUGreenDeal.
 
France, and Europe as a whole, can be proud of these accomplishments.

Deficits and debts have soared after COVID.

And we need investments to build a greener, more digital future.
 
Let's design rules that reconcile higher investment needs with the need to safeguard sound fiscal finances.
 
One goes with the other: fiscal sustainability and growth

We need to be prepared to deal with more disruptions in Russian gas deliveries

We work hard on this.

Making sure national emergency plans are adequate.

Diversifying supplies with partners.
 
And working on a 🇪🇺 emergency demand reduction plan with industry and EU countries.

Today is a good day for Europe.
 
Congratulations to President @ZelenskyyUA President @Sandumaiamd and Prime Minister @GharibashviliGe

Glad to meet @andrejplenkovic ahead of two important meetings: the Western Balkans' Leaders Summit and #EUCO

We will involve the private sector from both sides, with matchmaking events starting this autumn.

Share knowledge and technologies, notably by working together under #HorizonEurope

And create a robust regulatory environment, with more cooperation between our agencies.

🇺🇦🇲🇩🇬🇪 are telling us that they want change.

That they want Europe.
 
We have a responsibility towards them and towards ourselves, to make the right choice.
 
@europarl_en has spoken, loud and clear.
 
It is now up to #EUCO to decide and live up to this historic responsibility.

🐦🔗: https://nitter.eu/vonderleyen/status/1539625173963476994

How far 🇺🇦🇲🇩🇬🇪 will come and how quickly they proceed will depend on their actions and their progress.
 
It is a merits-based approach.
 
But how we respond to their passion and their progress is our choice, and ours only.

All this progress has been achieved because the people of Ukraine have Europe in their hearts and minds.
 
There is important work ahead.
 
And I know that the people of Ukraine want to continue on the path of modernisation, of democracy, the path that leads to Europe.

Another big step for the #EUGreenDeal.

Thanks to the @europarl_en for clearing the way for negotiations on our #Fitfor55 Package.

The reform of the Emissions Trading System, #CBAM and the Social Climate Fund will put Europe on track towards a net zero future for all.

We are building a more sustainable future.

We aim to provide access to electricity from renewables to 100 million people in Africa by 2030.
 
We support Africa in powering its rising industry and selling clean energy abroad.
 
It’s good for all our economies and the planet.

From vaccines to food production: every continent must step up its local production capacity.
 
With #GlobalGateway our partners will be stronger and more resilient.
 
Their strength is our strength too.
