We also discussed Ukraine's progress on its EU path.
 
I paid my respect to Ukraine's efforts, working hard on reforms amidst a full blown war.

Work needs to continue.

Ukraine can count on our support and expertise throughout the process.

We are:
 
1 - Sharpening our existing tools, adding more products to our transit ban.
 
2 - Proposing a new tool to combat sanctions circumvention.
 
3 - Proposing to ban “shadow” entities from Russia and third countries that are intentionally circumventing our sanctions.

Good to be back in Kyiv.

Where the values we hold dear are defended everyday.

So it is such a fitting place to celebrate the day of Europe.

I welcome President @ZelenskyyUa's decision to make 9 May Europe Day also here in Ukraine.

Good meeting with President @Isaac_Herzog in London today.

We remain committed to working together to fight antisemitism and ensure Holocaust remembrance in Europe.

Together, we must ensure that the lessons of history are never forgotten.

At home we take a 360 ° approach – from prevention to effective prosecution of corruption.

Abroad, we expand our sanctions toolbox to cover corruption.

In my State of the Union speech, I promised that we will step up our fight against corruption at home and abroad.

Today, we deliver an anti-corruption package, for healthy democracies and societies, that citizens can trust.

Glad to meet with @prezidentpavel in Prague.

I thanked him for Czechia's staunch support to Ukraine.

We need to urgently step up production, procurement, delivery of ammunition.

This is why the @EU_Commission will present the Act in Support of Ammunition Production tomorrow.

I welcome the agreement in principle found on the transit of 4 types of Ukrainian grain and seeds.

A deal that preserves both Ukraine’s exports capacity so it continues feeding the world, and our farmers’ livelihoods.

Thank you @VDombrovskis and @jwojc for your efforts.

Always great to meet you, dear @JustinTrudeau.

Canada is one of our most trusted partners.

We work together on issues of global importance - Ukraine, Indo-Pacific, climate change and economic security.

And we are jointly preparing an important G7 summit in Hiroshima.
