Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu

Pleased to let President @ZelenskyyUa know of our proposal to suspend import duties on all Ukrainian exports to the EU.

This is another strand of EU support to Ukraine’s economy, beyond macro-financial assistance and grants.

The EU continues to stand firmly by Ukraine.

Today Putin once again failed, in this attempt to sow division between Europeans.

The era of Russian fossil fuels in Europe will come to an end.

We are determined to make this happen as soon as possible.

Europe is moving forward on energy.

We will keep on working to ensure sufficient gas supply and storage in the medium term.
 
#REPowerEU will help reduce our dependency on Russian fossil fuels still this year.
 
And we will present our plans to speed up the green transition in mid-May.

We will ensure that Gazprom’s decision has the least possible impact on EU consumers.

🇵🇱🇧🇬 are now receiving gas from their EU neighbors.
 
@EU_Commission will also intensify its work with the regional groups of Member States that can provide immediate solidarity to each other.

Look at India where energy demand has doubled since 2000.

Now is the time for the right choices - clean, home-grown reliable energy.

#GlobalGateway can play a key role here.

For example, by building clean hydrogen infrastructure to power up your heavy industries.

The world's need for massive investment is high our new agenda for the 21st century.
 
But investments should never come at the expense of a country’s independence.

This is why we have #GlobalGateway.
 
It is Europe’s vision for investment in sustainable global infrastructure.

We want a peaceful and prosperous Indo-Pacific.
 
It must be free, open, interconnected, prosperous, with a rules based security architecture that serves all interests.
 
We will continue to encourage Beijing to play its part in a peaceful and thriving Indo-Pacific region.

Russia's aggression already has an impact on the Indo-Pacific.
 
Countries battered by the pandemic now must deal with rising prices for grain, energy and fertilizers as a result of it.
 
Our response to Russia’s war will decide the future of our global system and economy.

Russia and China have declared that the friendship between them has “no limits.”

That there are “no forbidden areas of cooperation”; this was in February.

Just before the invasion of Ukraine.

What can we expect from the “new international relations” that both have called for?

President Kovind, there is so much potential for a stronger 🇪🇺🇮🇳 partnership.

In the current geopolitical landscape, in Europe and the Indo-Pacific, democracies have to work together.

And we will strive, together, for a climate-neutral, prosperous future!

Energy security is one of the most pressing topics for India and Europe.

The EU will diversify away from Russian fossil fuels and will invest heavily in clean renewable energy.

So 🇪🇺🇮🇳 cooperation on solar and green hydrogen is key.

#GlobalGateway can play a crucial role here.

At Raj Ghat today I pay tribute to the life and legacy of Mahatma Gandhi.

His aura has long transcended the borders of his native India.

He has gifted us a precious set of values which, more than ever, should guide us in making our world a more peaceful place.

India and the EU are aligned in the fight against climate change.

We have both embarked on our way to net zero.
 
And solar energy will play a key role in getting there.

We will step up our cooperation on solar energy, including through the @isolaralliance

Glad to visit the Energy and Resources Institute.
 
Under our Horizon research programme, the EU and @teriin have been working on green transition projects.
 
Our cooperation shows how committed the EU is to fighting climate change together with India.

Good to speak with President @ZelenskyyUa on how to further increase our help to Ukraine

We discussed financial and security assistance, and Ukraine´s replies to the questionnaire on EU membership.

@EU_Commission stands ready to support.

Ukraine belongs in our European family.

Touching moments with refugees from Ukraine after our #StandUpForUkraine global pledging event.

We raised €9.1 billion to support those fleeing Russia’s invasion, inside the country and abroad.

And more support will come. We stand with the brave people of Ukraine.

Thanks @trzaskowski_ for having us during the #StandUpForUkraine pledging event.

Citizens of @warszawa & your administration are doing an incredible job hosting hundreds of thousands refugees from 🇺🇦, most are women & children.

This is solidarity among Europeans at its best.
