Our sanctions are hitting Putin's system hard.

And we are determined to make the Kremlin pay for the latest steps on the escalation path.

Promises made. Promises kept.

The State of the Union address sets out our agenda for Europe.

During #SOTEU 2021, President @vonderleyen outlined many initiatives relevant for Europeans.

What progress have we made on the initiatives since then? A thread 👇
🟢 European Chips Act

Without chips, there’s no digital transition, no green transition.

Our objectives are high: doubling our global market share by 2030 to 20%, and producing the most sophisticated and energy-efficient semiconductors in Europe.
#EUChipsAct
🟢 #GlobalGateway.

It stands for sustainable and trusted connections that work for people and the planet.

We will support smart investments in quality infrastructure, respecting the highest social and environmental standards globally and build partnerships of equals.

We #StandWithUkraine and democracy over autocracy.

Since the start of Russia’s brutal attack on 24 February, the entire EU has mobilised to support Ukrainians.

We will continue to do so until they can safely rebuild their independent and democratic country in peace.

#SOTEU
The EU has welcomed more than 8.2 million Ukrainians fleeing the war.

And the #StandupforUkraine campaign raised €9.1 billion for people fleeing the Russian invasion.

On the ground, #EUCivPro has delivered over 66 000 tonnes of aid to Ukraine.

Ukraine and the European Union have never been closer.

Ukraine’s application for EU membership was an expression of its will and right to choose its own destiny.

In June, we opened the pathway towards us by granting them, together with Moldova, candidate status.

Investing in care is an investment in gender equality and social fairness.

Investing in high-quality care means improving gender equality and enhancing women’s participation in the labour market.
