🇺🇦 Such a pleasure to meet @ZelenskaUA

The EU’s solidarity with Ukraine is growing ever stronger.

We support Ukraine to recover and rebuild and we join forces to take care of Ukrainian children.

Bring them back to school and give them a bright future.

The EU and the US share a deep commitment to addressing the climate crisis and accelerating on the way to net-zero.

The road to net-zero will be the greatest transformation of our times.

Europe has what it takes – talent, researchers, industrial capacity.

And it has a plan for the future ↓ https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1BdGYyNzAbYGX

Merci cher @emmanuelmacron pour ces échanges constructifs sur les perspectives pour cette nouvelle année, en amont de notre prochain Conseil européen.

Ukraine, énergie, compétitivité, migration, autant de sujets sur lesquels l’UE doit avancer unie pour être efficace.

Допомога Україні у забезпеченні її фінансових потреб для протистояння російській агресії надзвичайно важлива та невідкладна.

Комісія діє з максимальною швидкістю та рішучістю:

Вже завтра ми виплатимо перші 3 млрд євро з 18 млрд євро макрофінансової підтримки погодженої в грудні

Helping Ukraine meet its financing needs to face the Russian aggression is both crucial and urgent.

The Commission is acting with utmost speed and determination:

Tomorrow, we will already disburse the first 3 billion € of the 18 bn macro-financial support agreed in December.

🇸🇪 @SwedishPM and I agree:
 
Maintaining our global climate and economic leadership is essential, despite the many crises Europe is facing.
 
I am glad that this is a priority for @sweden2023eu
 
You can count on the @EU_Commission’s full support throughout.

We will discuss how to send a positive signal to businesses.

Several strands of work ahead:

3 - Create credible and ambitious financing tools.
 
4 - Advance an ambitious trade agenda.

Let’s keep working to make energy more affordable and homegrown.
 
We’ll propose a reform of the electricity market this spring.

I look forward to swift progress under @sweden2023eu
 
To speed up the clean transition, I know you can lead us through the last stretch on #Fitfor55

Dear @SwedishPM, you have made Ukraine the 1st priority of your presidency.
Russia’s imperial war also showed that we need to take greater responsibility for our collective security.

So I welcome your ambition to strengthen EU security & defence policy ↓ https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1mnGeRkReZYJX

The inauguration of the Esrange Spaceport is an important moment.

As the first orbital launch site on our mainland, it offers an independent European gateway to space.

The future of the EU as a space power is also written in Sweden ↓ https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1djxXlXPXZXxZ

Honoured to meet His Majesty The King of Sweden Carl XVI Gustaf.

What a year for Sweden!

With @sweden2023eu. With 500 years since Gustav Vasa was elected king; the foundation of 🇸🇪 as an independent state.

And His Majesty The King's 50th jubilee.

My warmest congratulations.

Good discussion on a range of topics with @LeoVaradkar - our first chat since his reappointment as Taoiseach.

In particular, we welcomed the positive momentum in 🇪🇺🇬🇧 discussions.

We are committed to finding joint solutions that work for all communities in Northern Ireland.

‘Why are authoritarian regimes so afraid of Europe? We do not wage war, we do not impose our model. So why? Our values make them afraid.’

David Sassoli’s question now feels like a prophecy.

One year after his passing, David’s memory still warms our hearts and shows us the way.

We will discuss the impact of Russia’s war on Europe’s security and the changes it requires.

Like boosting defence capabilities in Europe.
 
A stronger European defence will make NATO stronger too.
