Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu

The world was still dealing with climate change, poverty and the lingering effects of COVID when Russia started its war of aggression against Ukraine.
 
In this cascade of crises, #UNGA77 is about accelerating our common action.

I was honoured to pay my last respects to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Stoic and steadfast, she always reminded us that our future is built on new ideas and founded in our oldest values.

May we all continue to find inspiration in the unique legacy she has left us.

Many countries want to achieve, together with us, the green and digital transition.

Our #GlobalGateway strategy is at work to provide the investments needed. And we are teaming up with G7 partners.

@POTUS and I will convene a meeting to review and announce projects.

Raw material will power our future.

But a few countries now control supplies and processing.

We should not fall into the same old dependencies.

So I will present a Critical Raw Material Act.

With strategic 🇪🇺 projects on extraction, refining, processing and recycling.

A very constructive meeting with Prime Minister @Denys_Shmyhal

Moving scenes in Irpin. 

In Ukraine this year, 70 000 children cannot go back to the classroom because their schools were destroyed by Russian bombs.

We will continue working with Olena @ZelenskaUA to rebuild schools and will provide €100 million for this.

Dear Volodymyr @ZelenskyyUA congratulations on 🇺🇦 military successes.
 
The bravery of the Ukrainian people is inspiring.
 
This requires consolidation, but we are all impressed by the Ukrainian armed forces
 
This has lifted spirits in Ukraine - and for all your friends too.

Ukraine needs help to prepare this winter.

This is why the EU has earmarked €150 million to help internally displaced people find shelter.

From electricity trade, free roaming, to suspension of tariffs, we are bringing 🇺🇦 closer to the EU single market.

And we are preparing the important congress on reconstruction with the German Presidency of the G7 in October.

🇺🇦 In Kyiv, for my 3rd visit since the start of Russia’s war.

So much has changed.
Ukraine is now a 🇪🇺 candidate.

I’ll discuss with @ZelenskyyUa and @Denys_Shmyhal how to continue getting our economies and people closer while Ukraine progresses towards accession.

Russia keeps on manipulating our energy market.

We are helping cushion the blow of high energy prices on consumers and businesses.

Looking forward, we will reform our electricity market so consumers benefit from the low cost of renewables.

When Magdalena and Agnieszka, who are with us today, heard about trains full of refugees, they rushed to the Warsaw Central Station.
 
They set up a tent and soon gathered 3000 volunteers to welcome refugees 24/7.
 
Their story is about everything our Union stands and strives for

Every action that our Union takes should be inspired by a simple principle.
 
That we should do no harm to our children’s future.

It is time to enshrine solidarity between generations in our Treaties.
 
The moment has arrived for a European Convention.

If we want to be credible when we ask candidate countries to strengthen their democracies, we must also eradicate corruption at home.
 
That is why we will present measures to update our legislative framework for fighting corruption in the coming year.

Raw material will fuel our green and digital future.
 
Almost 90% of rare earths and 60% of lithium are processed in China.

With our Critical Raw Materials Act we will:

• Identify strategic projects along the supply chain

• Build up strategic reserves for our Union

Die Zahl der Arbeitslosen ist so niedrig wie nie zuvor.
 
Gleichzeitig liegt die Zahl der offenen Stellen auf Rekordniveau.
 
Wir müssen daher viel stärker in die Bildung investieren.
 
Deshalb schlage ich vor, 2023 zum Jahr der Aus- und Weiterbildung zu machen.
