Moscow must continue to pay a high price for its aggression.

Since February, the EU has imposed hard-hitting sanctions against the Kremlin, with the aim of halting reckless and inhumane invasion of Ukraine.

State of play on sanctions ↓

#StandWithUkraine
The sanctions target the political, military and economic elite responsible for the invasion or actions which undermine the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.

#StandWithUkraine Individual listings of people and entities: 1212 individuals
The sanctions are inflicting severe consequences on Russia for its actions and are thwarting its ability to finance war and continue the aggression.

🦗🐛 Whether a snack or a food ingredient, did you know there are currently three insects authorised in the EU 'novel food'?

‘House cricket’, ‘yellow mealworm’ and ‘migratory locus’ are the three types of insects authorised as ‘novel food’ in the EU market. 👇 Visual describing the three insects approved as novel food i
The @FAO indicates that insects are a highly nutritious and healthy food source.

Insects contain high fat, protein, vitamin, fibre, and mineral content, and can facilitate the shift towards healthy and sustainable diets. 👇
Eating insects is safe.

Novel Food can only be authorised if it does not pose any risk to human health. It must undergo a scientific assessment prior to authorisation to ensure its safety. 👇

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.

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.

#EuropeDay | #TheFutureIsYours
In Europe, the memory of our past has always framed our future.

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

#EuropeDay | #TheFutureIsYours
