She also noted that in the past year, Europe has overcome the strongest energy crisis.
In Europe, 2022 was the year of solidarity with Ukrainians.
This was stated by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in her Christmas message.
The head of the European Commission called 2022 the year when Europe “overcame an unprecedented energy crisis and demonstrated solidarity with Ukrainians who are defending their country.”
“This year revealed the soul and strength of Europe. Merry Christmas,” von der Leyen wrote in a congratulatory message in three languages - English, French and German.
EU aid to Ukraine
The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced that on December 24, all EU countries agreed to the European Commission’s proposal to send 18 billion euros in macro-financial assistance to Ukraine in 2023.
Money will be allocated regularly to help with the reconstruction of broken objects. It is assumed that this reconstruction will put Ukraine on the path to joining the EU.
