The following principles will guide our work on a reconstruction platform:
1 - Ukrainian leadership must be paramount
2 - Everyone can contribute, including the private sector
3 - The EU will offer a governance structure fit for this long and complex process

In these 15 dramatic weeks, we have learnt so much about the tenacity of the Ukrainian soul.
We will do everything in our power so that Ukrainians can once again be the masters of their own future. #GLOBSEC2022

I welcome the strong message of commitment to our common security sent by the Danish people today.
Denmark’s expertise on defence is much valued.
I am convinced that both Denmark and the EU will benefit from this decision.
We are #StrongerTogether

Congratulations, Croatia! 🇭🇷
Today, Croatia has made a significant step towards joining the euro, our common currency.
The @EU_Commission agrees that Croatia is ready to adopt the euro on 1 January 2023.
We will continue our close cooperation, dear @andrejplenkovic.

Glad to see lots of support at the @EPP Congress for our 6th sanctions package against Russia.
“It is Putin who unleashed this atrocious war. The perpetrator must bear the cost of his behaviour. Seized assets of Russian oligarchs must go into rebuilding Ukraine.“

Great meeting with @donaldtusk at the @EPP congress in Rotterdam.
Dear Donald, you embody our values.
Now you return to your home country to stand up for them.
Many thanks for your tireless work as EPP President.

This #EUCO was a moment to take stock after Versailles:
We are further strengthening sanctions against Russia.
Securing energy supply #REPowerEU
Getting more value from defense spending in Europe.
And uniting to fight on all fronts the emerging global food crisis caused by 🇷🇺

We are mobilising on all fronts to increase global food security and to counteract the emerging food crisis.
The world needs the 20 million tons of grain currently blocked in Ukrainian silos by Putin’s war.
We propose 5 measures to address this urgency: https://europa.eu/!TtRfCJ

Yesterday, we decided to ban de facto 90% of Russian oil imports to 🇪🇺 by the end of 2022.
Russia shows its unreliability as an energy supplier.
#REPowerEU has 3 answers: Diversifying away from 🇷🇺 fossil fuels, reinforcing security of supply/gas storage, accelerating renewables

EU Member States are stepping up defense spending.
We must ensure that we extract maximum value from this spending as we:
• replenish stockpiles
• streamline procurement, incl. joint procurement to reduce unnecessary costs
• strengthen interoperability between Member States

In the face of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, EU Member States are coming together to strengthen defense, ensure reliable & sustainable energy supply, and to mobilise against an emerging global food crisis. https://nitter.eu/i/broadcasts/1MYxNnPrLlOxw

I am glad that tonight leaders agreed in principle on the sixth sanctions package. This is an important step forward.
We also agreed to work on a mechanism to provide Ukraine with a new, exceptional macro-financial assistance package of up to €9 billion. https://nitter.eu/i/broadcasts/1OdKrBLEydYKX

I welcome the #EUCO agreement tonight on oil sanctions against Russia.
This will effectively cut around 90% of oil imports from Russia to the EU by the end of the year.

We agreed in Versailles to phase out our dependency on Russian gas, oil & coal as soon as possible.
But this requires a plan: This is #REPowerEU.
It has 4 pillars:
• Saving energy
• Diversifying away from 🇷🇺 fossil fuels
• Massive investment in renewable energy
• Financing

At this special #EUCO, the @EU_Commission is delivering after Versailles:
• Analysis of gaps in our defense spending
• #REPowerEU
• Ukraine, in particular financial relief now & long-term reconstruction
And we continue our work on finalising the 6th sanctions package.

Glad to meet PM @kajakallas in the margins of #EUCO
Estonia has demonstrated impressive solidarity in helping Ukraine and its people ever since Russia’s brutal invasion.
🇪🇺🇪🇪 We continue to coordinate closely on this – just as on making the #EUGreenDeal & #REPowerEU a success.
