Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu

We will continue to support efforts to make sure that Putin can be held accountable for the crime of aggression.

To that end, we continue to support the creation of a dedicated tribunal, if that’s what it takes.

We want justice for Ukraine and for Ukrainians.

What happened in Bucha one year ago was not an isolated episode.
 
Those executions in cold blood were part of a bigger plan.
 
The Kremlin's plan to eliminate Ukrainians.

Their national identity.

Their sense of being.

War criminals will be held accountable.

Our story about our relationship to China is not fully written.

We must show that our system and values delivers prosperity and security.

And always be ready to talk and work with those who see the world differently.

We are exploring an instrument on outbound investment.

To avoid enhancing the military and intelligence capabilities of those who are also systemic rivals with tech and knowledge transfers that comes with some investments.

We must ensure diplomatic stability and open communication lines with China.

We also do not want to cut economic ties with a vital trading partner.

We need to focus on de-risking; not de-coupling. ↓

We promised to support Ukraine as long as it takes.

And we are keeping our promises.

Peace and prosperity must be re-won, day after day, generation after generation.

So today, we don’t just gather for a commemoration.

But for a new commitment.

To keep working for reconciliation in Northern Ireland.

Leaders had strongly backed the main pillars and objectives of the Green Deal Industrial Plan.
 
So the @EU_Commission tabled concrete proposals to roll it out:

→ Net-Zero Industry Act
→ Critical Raw Materials Act
 
I now call for a rapid agreement on our proposals.

Glad to meet President @Christodulides ahead of EUCO.

We discussed his proposal for the resumption of negotiations for a settlement in Cyprus, within the agreed framework.

We also discussed how to further support Ukraine and tackle circumvention of our sanctions on Russia.

For the fight against climate change, we need to speed up the net-zero shift of the EU industry.

The Net-Zero Industry Act will help create a simpler and more predictable regulatory environment for clean tech.

It will scale up net-zero technologies & create good jobs in Europe.

Without critical raw materials, there is no green transition and digital transition.

The Critical Raw Materials Act will improve Europe's refining, processing and recycling of raw materials.

And create a Critical Raw Materials Club with reliable partners to diversify supply.
