The presence of @ZelenskaUA today side by side with @vonderleyen is more than a symbol.
It shows: Ukraine now firmly belongs in the EU. Ukraine and Europe are one.
"Ukraine and Europe will prevail." And I add: Russia's war has only fuelled the power of our democracies. 1/4

This time, the annual speech by European Commission president carries a special weight.
Agree 100% with @vonderleyen: "This is the time for us to show resolve, not appeasement."
It confirms: #EU's course in facing Russian aggression is right, firm and long-term.
#SOTEU 2/4

As @vonderleyen said: "one lesson from this war is we should have listened to those who know Putin."
We know our neighbour. It's not about "we told you so", it's about how we will go forward. Without fear.
The Kremlin won't stop until it's pushed back and justice prevails. 3/4

True, our sanctions work and "are here to stay."
Why else would the Russian army take chips from dishwashers? Why else would Aeroflot planes be grounded?
And I add: why else would the Kremlin use every terror tactic to get us to lift sanctions?
So we must go even further. 4/4
