Excellent meeting with President Zelenskyy in Kyiv on the @eib.org Group's longstanding cooperation with the country and its people. Supporting Ukraine is about supporting Europe’s democratic values. We #StandWithUkraine.

Kyrylo is 14. But that’s not the only reason he’s an exceptional person. Freedom of expression, a strong, confident and responsible press is essential, especially at times of conflict and in Ukraine, today. He understands this already.

RIPJimmy Carter: “In the industrialized world there is a terrible absence of understanding or concern about those who are enduring lives of despair and hopelessness. We have not yet made the commitment to share with others an appreciable part of our excessive wealth.”

Transparency & honest exchange within public institutions is all too rare and not always easy or comfortable. But it sets the tone for a kind of politics and leadership whatever diverse views are held … it was a pleasure to help steer this conversation at the @eib.org with @nadiacalvino.eib.org
