Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen@respublicae.eu

Good to be back in Kyiv, my 4th time since Russia‘s invasion.

This time, with my team of Commissioners.

We are here together to show that the EU stands by Ukraine as firmly as ever.

And to deepen further our support and cooperation.

In the next few years the economic shape of the net-zero age will be firmly set.

We have a strong starting point with the #EUGreenDeal
Now let’s be fast and united, to secure our place in this new economy.

This will be my message to leaders at #EUCO ↓ https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1zqKVPNWmbDJB

First phone call with the president-elect of Czechia @general_pavel to congratulate him on yesterday’s elections and to invite him to Brussels.

We had a good first discussion on our joint priorities, in particular the EU’s support to Ukraine as long as it takes.

🇲🇹 Good news for Malta!

With the progress made in implementing its recovery plan, Malta can get a first payment under #NextGenerationEU

So, as soon, as Member States agree too, Malta will receive over €50 million.

We will always remember the millions of victims murdered during the Holocaust.

But remembrance is not an aim in itself.

We must go a step further.

Let us fight antisemitism, which is on the rise today.

And let us make Jewish life prosper in an open, equal EU society.

The “Made in Europe 🇪🇺” label means quality.
And so much more.

It’s a statement of who we are.

A diverse continent full of creativity, where we protect the environment.

Where workers earn a decent wage.

Where entrepreneurs can thrive and where no one is left behind.

We stand in solidarity with Moldova as shockwaves of Russia’s brutal war continue to impact the country.

Today we propose to top up macro-financial assistance to Moldova by €145 million.

This will greatly support the country's economy and energy security.

Glad to meet @antoniocostapm

Ahead of the next #EUCO we discussed competitiveness, trade with the opportunity to take forward EU-Mercosur, and support to Ukraine.

We also discussed the rollout of #NextGenEU and energy connectivity - key for Portugal, key for Europe as a whole.

Tragedy strikes at the heart of war-torn Ukraine.

I express my heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims, @ZelenskyyUa and the entire country following the helicopter crash at #Brovary.

We are mourning with you.

The latest symbol of Russia’s terror is a yellow kitchen in an apartment building in Dnipro.

Lives shattered by Russia’s imperialism.

We condemn this new barbaric act and remain at Ukraine’s side for as long as it takes.

Our EU energy platform is at work to prepare for next winter.

With our European consortium, we aggregate demand for gas to get better prices for citizens & businesses.

Our negotiations with gas suppliers should allow us to conclude first joint contracts well before this summer.

Our hard work on energy is paying off.

Now we need the same collective ambition for the year ahead.

We need to maintain the competitiveness of our economy.

The transformational task to reach net zero is huge.

Our answer is the Green Deal Industrial Plan.
