  • VdL: We have to have investment from across the EU for that, we need financing tools in the short and medium term for an adequate EU answer.
  • VdL: We need to keep increasing pressure on Russia, keep supporting Ukraine. We are preparing for Ukraine's reconstruction, it will be a tool to combine reforms and investment.
