Russia must pay for the destruction caused and blood spilt.

Our 10th package of sanctions will further weaken Russia’s war machine.

And we have the will to hold Russia accountable for its crimes, including the crime of aggression.

We must continue to deprive Russia of the means to wage war against Ukraine. EU’s import ban on Russian petroleum products comes into force on Sunday.

With the G7 we are putting price caps on these products, cutting Russia’s revenue while ensuring stable global energy markets.

Our 9 packages of sanctions are biting, and a 10th one is on its way.

With our partners, we must deny Russia the means to kill Ukrainian civilians and destroy homes and offices.

New measures will hit the trade and technology that supports Russia’s war machine.

Together, we are bringing light to Ukraine!

Ukrainians can exchange their old bulbs at the post office for energy-efficient LED bulbs.
 
The EU is gladly providing 35 million of them.

Important meeting with @ZelenskaUA’s on Ukraine’s orphans.

Ukraine and EU want to make sure that loving families can care for them.

As a start, we will provide up to €10 million for the design of a modern childcare strategy, with a twinning project, so we can share expertise.
