Good meeting with President @AlSisiOfficial.

We need to work together to prevent a major food security crisis in the region.

With this 🇪🇺🇪🇬🇮🇱 agreement we will work on the stable delivery of natural gas to the EU from the East Med region.

This will contribute to our 🇪🇺 energy security.

And we are building infrastructure fit for renewables - the energy of the future.

I am grateful that Israel will increase its supply of energy to the EU.

Tomorrow we’ll take an important step, with the signing of a trilateral agreement on gas between Israel, the EU and Egypt.

And we will join forces to help protect the world from a major food crisis.

In @YadVashem I honor the memory of the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis.

We shall never forget.

The next generations shall learn about the Shoah.

We will fight antisemitism in all its forms and foster Jewish life in Europe.

We are doing so in facing Russia’s war in Ukraine and in fighting the climate crisis.
 
We are stepping up 🇪🇺🇮🇱 energy cooperation, to help the EU break free from Russian fossil fuels.
 
We are also preparing infrastructure projects that will help us along the green transition.

The strongest bond EU and Israel share is our belief in democracy and its values.
 
Your freedom of thought has turned a small country of just a few million into a global trailblazer for science and innovation.
 
Today more than ever, democracies like ours should stick together.

EU and Israel are bound to be friends and allies.

Because the history of Europe is the history of the Jewish people.

Our democracy flourishes if Jewish life flourishes, too.

I am committed to fighting antisemitism and fostering Jewish life in the EU. https://nitter.eu/i/broadcasts/1yNGaYQPozgGj

🇺🇦🇪🇺 I’m deeply humbled by the strength and resilience of the Ukrainian people.

They are defending courageously their country, in very difficult conditions.

But I see life springing back in Kyiv.

As you rebuild and modernise Ukraine, Європа з вами!

I was glad to end my visit with a walk on the Maidan.

I’m so touched to see life back in the streets of Kyiv.

They are slowly coming back to their busy pace.

This is a symbol of hope for this brave country.

Good meeting with Prime Minister @Denys_Shmyhal

Ukraine is developing its reconstruction plan and we will partner in support.

From infrastructure to climate action or resilience, there is much work to be done.

We will do it, shoulder to shoulder.

I visited soldiers recovering in a hospital in Kyiv.

In spite of the injuries, their spirit is unbroken. Their determination, intact.

These are hard times for Ukraine.

Europe is at your side.

The @EU_Commission is preparing
our recommendation for EU Member States.

My discussions today with @ZelenskyyUa and @Denys_Shmyhal will enable us to finalise our assessment.

The path is known.

I appreciate the efforts and determination of Ukraine in this process.

Ukraine, a solid parliamentary democracy, was already on a good track before Russia invaded.

This war is an enormous stress test.
And the whole country is stepping up.

The same spirit is needed to reform and modernise the country.

And Europe is here to support you.
