The first 10 ships from Ukraine carrying agricultural goods have now safely reached their final destinations.
This is a good start. Many more must follow.
Sea routes have to remain open so that Ukrainian food exports can arrive where they are needed.

#TeamEurope is the largest donor of humanitarian aid in the world.
For 30 years, EU aid workers have helped alleviate the suffering of millions.
They brought food when it was scarce.
They brought hope when it was dim.
I'm proud of each of them.

The Ukrainian people are fighting for our values.
We will stand by them as much as we can, for as long as it takes.
The @EU_Commission will continue to provide wide-ranging support to address the humanitarian consequences of Russia's war in 🇺🇦

🇺🇦 10 million tons of cereals and oilseeds have now been transported out of Ukraine.
The fast implementation of our Solidarity Lanes has helped boost these exports.
Ukraine is the granary of the world. We are doing all we can to get precious grain to where it is most needed.

The @EU_Commission is saving energy too, under its Greening Strategy.
For example, we are switching off heating and cooling in most buildings 1h earlier than before, saving 3% of our annual energy use.
We also close some buildings for the summer and facilitate remote working.

Lowering the heating temperature at home by just 1°C can save around 7% in energy use over a year.
I’m encouraged to see that several 🇪🇺 Member States – like 🇪🇸🇨🇿🇮🇹 or 🇳🇱 – are introducing measures to optimise heating.
This will help us meet our joint target of 15%, together.

Across the EU smart ways to save energy are being introduced.
Slightly higher temperatures for air conditioning, for example, bring impressive results.
Good that Member States like 🇪🇸🇨🇿🇸🇮 are including such measures in their plans.
Together, we save energy for a safe winter.

I welcome the signature of the Inflation Reduction Act by @POTUS
With it, our 🇺🇸 partners are laying the ground for a clean energy economy in the US.
🇪🇺🇺🇸 will keep on investing in climate action.
Because global warming requires global action, in this decade. @Cop27P

I’m relieved that @SalmanRushdie is progressing with his recovery.
The world needs this fearless fighter for freedom of speech.
Voices like his make our democracies vibrant.
The cowardly, hateful attack on his life reminds us that we must protect those who defend our values.

Our emergency plan to reduce gas demand across the EU is now in force.
Several Member States have already taken valuable, voluntary measures towards our target:
Together, we aim to reduce gas usage by at least 15%.
Saving energy is vital to Europe's energy security.

Blahoželáme Slovensku, ktoré dnes obdrží 400 miliónov EUR v rámci #NextGenerationEU.
Je to najmä výsledok úsilia o reformy a investície do vysokoškolského vzdelávania, súdneho systému, energetického systému a čistej mobility v krajine.
Ďalšie čoskoro pribudnú!

Labas ziņas Latvijai!
