🗨️ "Last night President Zelensky described the courage of Ukrainians who are resisting bravely.
They have the whole EU behind them.
We will step up our support to Ukraine, sharpen our sanctions and break free from Russian fossil fuels."
🗨️ "This morning POTUS and I agreed a new energy partnership.
The 🇺🇸 will provide us with at least an additional 15 bcm of LNG this year.
In the coming years, we are aiming for at least 50 bcm per year.
And this would replace 1/3 of all Russian gas supply to Europe."
🗨️ "The root cause of high electricity prices is, in big part, high and volatile gas prices.
So we will join forces, pool our demand and use our collective bargaining power when purchasing gas."
🗨️ "In addition, we must complete pipeline infrastructure and ramp up our storage.
This will be our insurance policy against supply disruption.
It also time to look at the design of our energy market.
We will present options in May."

Social Media Rally this 9 April
📣 Today the European Commission and the Government of Canada announced the launch of a global campaign to raise funding in support of people fleeing the invasion of Ukraine, in partnership with international advocacy organisation Global Citizen.
The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the international community on behalf of his citizens who have been displaced by the war, saying: “On 9 April, the biggest online event ‘Social Media Rally' will support people who were forced to flee Ukraine. I'm inviting everybody: musicians, actors, athletes, businessmen, politicians, everybody. Everyone who wants to join this movement and ‘Stand Up for Ukraine'.”
The “Stand Up For Ukraine” campaign seeks to mobilise governments, institutions, artists, companies and individuals to direct funding to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine and in neighbouring countries. Global Citizen will announce more details in the coming days about how people can support.
The campaign will culminate in a pledging event on 9 April, co-hosted by President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The aim is to raise funds and mobilise support more broadly, to cater for the needs of internally displaced people and of refugees.
President von der Leyen said: “Millions of people are fleeing the bombs falling on Ukrainian cities. They are leaving their homes and their lives behind, to reach safety in other parts of Ukraine or in neighbouring countries. A Ukrainian child has become a refugee every second since the start of the war. The world must stand up for them. The European Union is catering for the needs of the millions of refugees it hosts. And we will further step up. But so much is needed – and the brave people of Ukraine deserve solidarity from citizens and governments around the globe. Together, we can give them a safe home and bring some light in their lives at this dark hour.”

As part of the #StandUpForUkraine campaign, the European Commission has created a new system to channel in-kind donations from the private sector to Ukraine, Moldova and neighbouring EU Member States, to help cater for the needs of internally displaced and refugees.
The EU will coordinate the delivery of large-scale in-kind donations of vital items such as medicines, vaccines, medical equipment, tents, beds and emergency blankets.
These donations can help address the risk of epidemic and protect the most vulnerable, in particular children.
Companies can also choose to donate other items to improve the living conditions of internally displaced and refugees, such as laptops for example.
