Today we are proposing a 5th package of sanctions.

To take a clear stand is crucial for the whole world.

A clear stand against Putin’s war of choice.

Against the massacre of civilians.

#StandWithUkraine
1⃣ An import ban on coal from Russia, worth €4 billion per year, cutting another important revenue source for Russia.

Diversification. Transformation. Independence. All at the same time.

REPowerEU is our plan to eliminate our dependence on Russian fossil fuels by 2027 and increase the resilience of the EU energy market.

#EUGreenDeal
1⃣Diversification

To cut our dependence on Russian gas, we must diversify gas supply:

➕ LNG imports
➕ pipeline imports from non-Russian suppliers
➕ biomethane
➕ hydrogen

This can reduce EU demand for Russian gas by two thirds before the end of the year.
2️⃣ Transformation

REPowerEU will reduce faster our dependence on fossil fuels by:

💨tripling wind capacities by 2030
🌞accelerating the rollout of rooftop solar PV systems
🔋innovating hydrogen-based solutions
📝enabling faster permitting for renewable energy projects

The EU has been a reliable partner of the Republic of Moldova for years and we continue to stand by Moldova in the face of the recent challenges.
We recommended that the @EUCouncil start negotiations for a status agreement between @Frontex and Moldova.

This will allow Frontex to assist Moldovan border guards in carrying out border management tasks with Ukraine. Image
We will provide an additional €15 million to the Moldovan authorities for assisting people fleeing the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Image

Putin's war demonstrates the urgency of accelerating our clean energy transition.

Today we outline REPowerEU - our plan to increase Europe's energy independence:

⚡ Reduced demand for Russian fossil fuels.

⚡ Emergency measures to tackle energy prices in Europe.

#EUGreenDeal
We simply cannot rely on a supplier who explicitly threatens us.

We will end our overdependence on Russian gas by diversifying gas supplies and reducing faster the use of fossil fuels in our homes, buildings, industry, and power systems.

#EUGreenDeal
Uncertainty on supply is rising pressure on energy prices in Europe.

To stop it and secure our gas supply, EU countries will be required to ensure that underground gas storage is filled up to at least 90% of its capacity by 1 October each year.

We are strengthening our response to hold Russia and Belarus to account for their attack on Ukraine.

Our new sanctions will harm their war and propaganda machine and have an eroding impact on their economies.

We will also finance the purchase and delivery of weapons to Ukraine.

President Putin has launched an unprecedented and unprovoked military attack against Ukraine.

We are responding in the strongest possible terms, by adopting the harshest ever package of restrictive measures.
