We are currently experiencing the greatest global food security crisis of our time, triggered by Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

The European Union is mobilising support, at the European and global level, to address it.

#FoodSecurity
Europe is showing solidarity with vulnerable populations around the globe, providing support to countries that are heavily dependent on food imports.

#FoodSecurity
We are stepping up our own production to ease pressure on food markets – so EU farmers will contribute to global food security.

And we are working with partner countries to increase their own food production and become more resilient.

#FoodSecurity
Ukrainian ships full of wheat and sunflower seeds are blocked by Russia in the Black Sea.

The world needs Ukraine’s grain – and Ukrainian farmers need revenues.

We are opening solidarity lanes, to enable Ukraine to export its grain.

#FoodSecurity
We are working with global partners so that available food stocks and additional products can reach vulnerable countries at affordable prices.

EU leaders agreed in Versailles to phase out our dependency on Russian fossil fuels as soon as possible.

But this requires a plan: This is #REPowerEU.

It has 4 pillars:
✅Saving energy
✅Diversifying away from 🇷🇺 fossil fuels
✅Massive investment in renewable energy
✅Financing
Small changes in our energy usage can also have a positive impact.

When paired with efficiency measures, they can impact prices and reduce our energy bills.

With the #REPowerEU Plan, we are also stepping up our emergency preparedness.
We are diversifying away from Russia for our energy needs.

With the EU Energy Platform, EU countries will be able to jointly purchase gas, LNG and hydrogen, to the benefit of all countries.

This will help secure our energy supply at affordable prices.

The EU and Japan have so much in common.

Our values – democracy and the rule of law.
Our economic model and a certain vision of the world.

We promote a multilateral global system based on rules designed to protect and benefit all.

President @vonderleyen at 🇪🇺🇯🇵 Summit ↓
@vonderleyen In this increasingly unpredictable world, the EU can count on one of its oldest and closest allies.🇯🇵

Also, on further cooperation and alignment on sanctions in response to Russia's aggression against Ukraine.

#StandWithUkraine
@vonderleyen Our collaboration with Japan is excellent, but we can achieve much more.

First, we are today launching an EU-Japan Digital Partnership. The first of its kind.

Because leadership in this field is key to our competitiveness and security.

We could think of no more fitting way to mark this special day than with the words of Ursula Hirschmann.

The courage of her convictions helped make Europe what it is today.

And that is all the more important at a time when the unthinkable has returned to our Continent.
