We cannot match the bravery and sacrifices of the Ukrainian people.
 
But we stand by your side, supporting you with our economic power.

We have mobilised €4 billion in financial support from the EU level since the start of the invasion.

Today I’m in Warsaw for the International Donors’ Conference co-hosted by 🇵🇱 and 🇸🇪 in partnership with 🇪🇺
 
As Putin’s war in Ukraine entered its 10 weeks, the people of Ukraine are calling for our help and support.
 
Once again, the @EU_Commission is answering this call.

The recovery package for Ukraine will bring the stability and certainty needed to make the country an attractive destination for foreign direct investment.

And eventually it will pave the way for Ukraine’s future inside the European Union.

We want Ukraine to win this war.

Yet so much has to be rebuilt.

That is why I am proposing to start working on an ambitious recovery package for our Ukrainian friends.

This package should bring massive investment to meet the needs and the necessary reforms.

Finally, we now propose a ban on Russian oil.

Let´s be clear: it will not be easy.
But we simply have to work on it.

We will make sure that we phase out Russian oil in an orderly fashion.

To maximise pressure on Russia, while minimizing the impact on our economies

Second, we de-swift Sberbank – by far Russia's largest bank – and two other major banks.

Third, we are banning three big Russian state-owned broadcasters from our airwaves, that amplify Putin´s lies and propaganda aggressively.

Today we are presenting the sixth package of sanctions.

First, we are listing high-ranking military officers and other individuals who committed war crimes in Bucha.

We know who you are.
And you will be held accountable.

On #WorldPressFreedomDay2022 Europe stands by those who speak truth to power.

Protecting media freedom and pluralism is protecting democracy.

This is why we are fighting against abusive lawsuits and preparing a Media Freedom Act

On this #WorkersDay I pay tribute to the people fleeing the war in Ukraine and rebuilding their lives in the EU.

In Europe, they can access job markets and have their skills recognised.

Thank you to all EU countries and the Europeans workers who are helping them integrate.

In Europe, the green transition is happening right now.

And there’s always a need for trailblazers, who set even higher goals.

Today we announced the cities that will participate in the EU Mission for 100 climate-neutral, smart cities by 2030.

They are showing us the way.

Pleased to let President @ZelenskyyUa know of our proposal to suspend import duties on all Ukrainian exports to the EU.

This is another strand of EU support to Ukraine’s economy, beyond macro-financial assistance and grants.

The EU continues to stand firmly by Ukraine.

Soon, the time will come for Ukraine’s reconstruction.

We will help you reconstruct and we will walk together with Ukraine on its European path.

Today Putin once again failed, in this attempt to sow division between Europeans.

The era of Russian fossil fuels in Europe will come to an end.

We are determined to make this happen as soon as possible.

Europe is moving forward on energy.

We will keep on working to ensure sufficient gas supply and storage in the medium term.
 
#REPowerEU will help reduce our dependency on Russian fossil fuels still this year.
 
And we will present our plans to speed up the green transition in mid-May.
