Dear
https://nitter.privacydev.net/kishida230
thank you for your inspiring leadership and our strong partnership.
We see eye-to-eye on the need to maintain strong pressure on Russia.
And on the close link between security in the Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific.
The EU and Japan will continue to partner.

A decarbonised world will require more investments – green investments.
Last year, I launched a €1 billion Green Bonds initiative to kickstart green bonds markets in developing countries, like Small Islands States.
This year, we go a step further ↓

Heartfelt solidarity with all affected by the devastating forest fires in Portugal.

Europe is the number one public investor in Ukraine’s defence sector.
Our EU Defence Innovation Office is up and running, with EU staff in Kyiv and a support team in Brussels.
It works as a hub to connect Ukrainian and EU defence industries, to the benefit of both.

It was a pleasure meeting

Thanks to our great cooperation, the €50 billion Ukraine Facility is delivering.
We also discussed Ukraine’s accession path.
It remains a key priority for me.
We support your ambitious work.

When a Russian bomb hits, the State Service firefighters rush to tame the flames and rescue people.
We support them with power generators and emergency equipment.
I also visited one of President

’s invincibility points - precious energy shelters in times of crisis.

[2024-09-20 08:21 UTC]

The first thing I do in Kyiv is to pay tribute to the fallen defenders of Ukraine over the past 10 years.
They are real heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for the security of our continent as a whole.
We will carry their memories in our hearts and minds.

[2024-09-20 07:18 UTC]

My 8th visit to Kyiv comes as the
heating season starts soon, and Russia keeps targeting energy infrastructure.
We will help Ukraine in its brave efforts.
I come here to discuss Europe’s support.
From winter preparedness to defence, to accession and progress on the G7 loans.

[2024-09-20 05:10 UTC]

The EU Solidarity Fund can cover parts of the damage.
We can also use the flexibility of the existing cohesion policy rules to mobilise up to €10 billion.
And help communities in 🇵🇱🇨🇿🇸🇰🇦🇹🇷🇴 recover.
Europe stands by your side.

[2024-09-19 17:03 UTC]

Our support to Ukraine’s energy security since Feb 2022 reaches at least €2 bn.
Today we make another €160 mn available for this winter.
Including close to €100 mn from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets in the EU.
Russia must pay for the destruction it caused.

[2024-09-19 10:19 UTC]

Today I welcomed the team of Commissioners-designate to the Berlaymont.
Getting to know each other is the basis of good cooperation.
I was glad to see that they are all very motivated and focused ahead of the hearings.
I think we are going to make a great team for Europe.

[2024-09-18 16:10 UTC]

It has been 10 years since Russia began its aggression against Ukraine.
It is clear: Crimea and Sevastopol are Ukraine.
The EU will always support the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
My message at the 4th Crimea Platform Summit ↓

It was a pleasure meeting
https://nitter.privacydev.net/PetteriOrpo
.
We discussed the findings of the Draghi report, the competitiveness orientations of our Union and a clean economy we can all thrive in.
We also discussed Europe's defence and civilian preparedness and our staunch support to Ukraine.

[2024-09-10 09:13 UTC]

Dear Mario Draghi, a year ago, I asked you to prepare a report on the future of Europe’s competitiveness.
No one was better placed than you to take up this challenge.
Now, we are eager to listen to your views ↓

Russia is relentlessly targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
Temperatures will soon go down, so we are stepping up our humanitarian aid to Ukrainians in need.
With a new €40 million package for repair works, electricity, heating and shelter.

[2024-09-06 09:48 UTC]

Grateful to the Strategic Dialogue & Chair Prof. Strohschneider.
For their vision and concrete recommendations for an agriculture that works with and for nature.
And that promotes a competitive European food value chain.
Let's keep that positive spirit alive.

[2024-09-04 10:37 UTC]

The work of the Strategic Dialogue on Agriculture shows that we can overcome polarisation, create trust and find common solutions.
It’s a success in itself.
The recommendations will now feed into a Vision for Agriculture and Food ↓

The EU is in the process of re-inventing itself.
In an age of geostrategic rivalries, a larger EU gives us a stronger voice in the world.
The integration of the Western Balkans in the EU is critical for this.
