🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦: @EU_Commission recommends to open accession negotiations with #Ukraine.
So, now we expect a positive political decision from the European Council this December 🤞🏻
A historic decision in the historically correct direction!
A year ago I told @ZelenskyyUa that @EBRD would commit up to €3 billion for #Ukraine over 2022-2023.
Today I can report that we have hit that target.
We will continue to be a steadfast partner to the country and its economy.
Thank you to our partners, donors and colleagues!
Another visit to Kyiv is for me both a duty and a practical necessity so that we @EBRD can discuss with our friends in government face to face what more we can do to support #Ukraine
It is a pleasure to be back @Denys_Shmyhal@Svyrydenko_Y@SergiiMarchenk3 !
This is how the Ukrainian symphony of courage sounds
Soldiers of the 59th Motorized Rifle Brigade named after Yakov Gandzyuk performed the composition "Experience" by the Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi.
The maestro played his music in the best concert halls of the planet and on an artificial iceberg in the Arctic Ocean.
Now his works sounded on the battlefield. Like an epic symphony of courage, courage and talent of our Heroes!

A day to remember for us all!
#Tbilisi Now: People stand strong and together. The Constitution of Georgia is embodied in the Georgian people. Our national objective is Euro-Atlantic integration and we stand ready to defend it. Our message is clear: Georgia is Europe. Georgia will never be Russia.
Monday - Ukrainian soldiers on the frontline city of Bakhmut hand Zelensky a signed Ukrainian flag.
Wednesday - Zelensky gives that flag to the US Congress.
Thank you @Vlad_Mykhnenko for this principled position. This is why I resigned from @regstud board as treasurer and as RSA Ambassador for #Ukraine in September. There are no half tones in standing against genocidal war of russia against 🇺🇦 #RussianUkrainianWar
Graphic summary of #EBRD EvalTalk series. #Ukraine 🇺🇦needs timely and continuous support. Difficult work but we must keep going. #evaluation lessons learned can help institutions to find better ways. More on lessons https://t.co/T42mZl2L5q
FM @DmytroKuleba: “We need a victory, not a draw. If we allow Russia to get a pause now, it will create a giant ticking bomb of a frozen conflict in the middle of Europe ready to explode at any moment. This would be a strategic mistake for Europe.

I’ve been meeting President @ZelenskyyUa in Kyiv to express our solidarity and admiration for the courage and resilience of the Ukrainians. With well over €1 billion in investment this year, the @EBRD is financing Ukraine’s real economy in the face of Russia’s aggression. 1/2
We’ve invested well over €1 billion this year in 🇺🇦Ukraine and will continue to support its real economy further and the urgent reconstruction of critical infrastructure.
We commit to invest up to €3 billion in 2022-2023.

Our @OdileRenaud and EBRD delegation met @ZelenskyyUa in Kyiv today.
She expressed our solidarity and our admiration for the courage and resilience of 🇺🇦 the Ukrainian people.
Multiple Russian missile strikes across Ukraine. Putin’s only tactic is terror on peaceful Ukrainian cities, but he will not break Ukraine down. This is also his response to all appeasers who want to talk with him about peace: Putin is a terrorist who talks with missiles.
