Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu

We’ll continue to support Ukraine and diminish Russia’s ability to wage war.

We are stepping up enforcement of our sanctions to prevent evasion & circumvention.

We must disrupt the supply routes that continue to feed Russia’s military machine and will sanction those involved.

On #IRA, two new major steps:

→ Starting on a critical raw materials agreement

To secure strong supply chains for batteries in 🇪🇺 & ensure access to the 🇺🇸 market

→ Launching a dialogue on Clean Energy Incentives

So our incentives reinforce each other rather than compete

We need all our talents to live up to the big challenges of our times.

But gender equality requires day-to-day commitment.

We have a duty to set an example of what a world of fair chances looks like.

Every day, not just on #InternationalWomensDay

On #IWD2023 I honour the women that are an inspiration to us all.

The women of Ukraine.

Those who, by joining the army, smashed a glass ceiling over the head of the Russian invaders,

And those who have become unbreakable forces for good, like @ZelenskaUA

Le Canada est un partenaire naturel pour les matières premières.
 
Grâce aux minéraux que vous exploitez et à la façon dont vous les exploitez.
 
Car nous aussi, nous tenons au respect de l’environnement, des droits des travailleurs et des communautés locales.

A global tech race has begun.

There is growing competition to attract investment and control the most critical links of vital supply chains.

In this more competitive global environment, Canada and Europe must play on the same team.

Inspiring visit of @li_cycle, where lithium batteries are recycled.

Recycling will be a key pillar of our Critical Raw Materials (CRM) Act.

And our CRM Partnership with Canada will strengthen our strategic value chains and help us reach our climate objectives.

Russia must pay for its crimes.

Proud of the agreement to set up the International Centre for Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression in The Hague.

A key step towards prosecuting the crime of aggression.

We must do everything in our power to bring the perpetrators to justice.

I promised to work with Ukraine on renewable energy sources, important for its energy security.

Now we deliver: a first batch of 5 700 solar panels will be sent to Ukraine soon.

Thank you @KadriSimson for working with industry on this - I am confident more donations will come.

Competitiveness is rightly at the heart of @sweden2023eu priorities.

It is the focus of my discussions today in Stockholm, first with @SwedishPM Kristersson and later also with European representatives of @ert_eu

Together we need to boost competitiveness in Europe.

Οι σημαίες μας κυματίζουν μεσίστια σήμερα, πενθούμε μαζί με τους Έλληνες φίλους μας τιμώντας την μνήμη των θυμάτων του τραγικού ατυχήματος.

Η Ελλάδα δεν είναι μόνη της. Η ΕΕ βρίσκεται στο πλευρό σας.
