Good discussion with @EUROCITIES and Mayor of Kyiv @Vitaliy_Klychko

EU cities have done a lot for 🇺🇦, welcoming refugees and providing aid.

And they will be key to the reconstruction efforts.

Thank you for quality input ahead of the #RebuildUkraine Berlin conference.

The principles of the #UNCharter stand strong while Russia is more isolated than ever.

143 countries at the @UN have condemned Russia’s sham referenda and the illegal seizure of Ukrainian land.

We #StandWithUkraine

We have to reach out to all countries from like-minded democracies, to others who share our interests.

We must bring our neighbourhood closer.

We must promote our interests and advance our values, all across the world.

The brave Iranian women demand freedom and equality - values that Europe believes in and must speak up for.

The violence must stop. Women must be able to choose.

This shocking violence cannot stay unanswered.

It’s time to sanction those responsible for this repression.

Shocked and appalled by the vicious attacks on Ukrainian cities.

Putin’s Russia has again shown the world what it stands for: brutality and terror.

I know that Ukrainians will stay strong.

We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes, with all the means we have.

Good meeting with 🇪🇪 President @AlarKaris.
 
We discussed the energy crisis and the options on the table.
 
The best way to end Russia’s energy blackmail is to diversify supply and accelerate the clean energy transition.

Estonia has everything it needs to achieve it.

Important discussions ahead at the informal #EUCO

I welcome the positive momentum between Bulgaria & North Macedonia.

The task ahead of us is clear.

We need to reduce energy costs, while preserving a level-playing field in our single market.

We have to do this as Europeans, jointly, through a common solution.

This is what we will discuss in Prague with #EUCO leaders.
