Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu

Thank you @fbirol for your insights into the challenges and opportunities in the energy area.

The EU will continue to work in parallel on its energy and clean tech competitiveness.

For the future of clean tech to continue being made in Europe, we have to strengthen our competitiveness.

That’s the idea behind the Green Deal Industrial Plan.

Today @EU_Commission discussed the Plan’s next steps and how to reinforce the overall competitiveness of our economy

Good to meet again with @Tsihanouskaya

The EU strongly supports the democratic forces in Belarus.

We stand together against an oppressive regime and an accomplice in Russia's war.

We support the courageous civil society. And we keep the pressure high with sanctions against 🇧🇾

Vielen Dank, lieber @Markus_Soeder!

Hier beim #CSU Forum der @MunSecConf glänzt Bayern einmal mehr als exzellenter Gastgeber und als Bastion der Transatlantischen Partnerschaft.

Gemeinsam stehen wir fest an der Seite der Ukraine und der Freiheit.

It has now been almost one year since Russia brought an imperialistic war to our continent.

At the @MunSecConf, let us renew our commitment to a global order governed by the rule of law – not the right of might.

Looking forward to the exchanges & encounters of the next two days

Good call with President @LulaOficial

We are both keen on strengthening the 🇪🇺🇧🇷 partnership, notably by getting the Mercosur agreement across the finish line and stepping up our joint fight against deforestation.

Looking forward to visiting Brazil soon.

🇫🇷 Ravie de recevoir la Première ministre @Elisabeth_Borne

Impact de la guerre russe en Ukraine, changement climatique ou concurrence économique internationale, autant de défis en commun dont nous discuterons aujourd’hui ↓

We propose new measures to prevent circumvention.

Our special envoy David O’Sullivan is reaching out to third countries, to address circumvention of sanctions.

And next week, we will organise a Sanctions Coordinators Forum to strengthen enforcement.

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/vonderleyen/status/1625808663259582464

We propose:

1) New bans on industrial goods exports

2) Further export restrictions of tech products found on the battlefield

This includes sanctioning Iranian entities linked to IRGC.

3) Listing of Putin’s propagandists and military commanders

For almost a year, Russia’s war of aggression has been sowing death and destruction.

We are making Russia pay.

Today, we are turning up the pressure with a 10th package of sanctions.

We need to build a bridge of hope for the people of Ukraine, from the horrors of war to a better future in our midst.

Ukraine is a nation defined not only by its history and heritage.

It is a nation defined by its dreams.

And Europe is one of these dreams.

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/vonderleyen/status/1625791408849268736

We are weakening Russia’s ability to maintain its war machine.

Our 10th sanction package contains trade bans and controls on technology exports worth €11 billion.

Russia is using hundreds of Iranian-built drones.

We propose to extend our export controls to Iranian entities.

Some predicted Ukraine would fall in a few days.

But the Ukrainians' legendary bravery stunned the world.

One year on, Putin's imperial fantasies have woken up to a bleak reality, while Ukraine’s dreams are stronger than ever.

Ukraine will prevail.
