Passionate European 🇪🇺 with a Czech heart 🇨🇿 Deputy Head of Cabinet of Commissioner for Enlargement @Marta1Kos @eu_near Views are my own. RT ≠ Endorsement
One year ago, this Commission took up its work.
In a Europe squeezed between East and West, we need to stand together.
We need to strengthen economies, democracies and the rule of law across our continent to build trust that a larger Union can serve all Europeans better.
With today’s €1 billion payment, we reaffirm our unwavering support for Ukraine.
We are helping keep the economy stable and rebuild critical infrastructure damaged by Russia’s aggression.
The EU will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.
An adaptation to #CohesionPolicy's rules adopted today ensures Member States & regions have more flexible access to 🇪🇺funds to recover from natural disasters.
This is our response to increased extreme weather events such as this Summer’s floods & fires.
