A stronger and more resilient European Union
Over the past year, Europeans have weathered an energy crisis, welcomed into their homes millions of Ukrainian refugees, in the largest displacement of people since the Second World War, and boosted the economy with unprecedented European investments.
Another year of unprecedented challenges and the EU has risen to the occasion once again by
- Standing with Ukraine and taking major steps to hold Russia accountable
- Boosting investment at home and abroad
- Winning the energy war waged by Russia against Europe
- Transforming our economy, by accelerating the green and digital transitions
- Protecting the EU’s core values of equality, inclusiveness and social fairness
