In the follow-up to the EU-Ukraine summit in Kyiv on 3 February, EU leaders meet on 9 and 10 February 2023 in Brussels to discuss recent developments with regards to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and continued EU support to Ukraine, how to ensure long-term competitiveness, prosperity and the role of the EU on the global stage.

Working together to Enhance Global Food Security

In their joint statement following the recent EU-Ukraine Summit held in Kyiv on 3 February, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, Charles Michel, President of the European Council and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, declared (paragraph 30):

“We recalled that Russia, by weaponising food in its war of aggression against Ukraine, has triggered world-wide disruptions of agricultural production, supply chains and trade that have driven food and fertiliser prices to unprecedented levels. We underlined the importance of and need for further strengthening of the Solidarity Lanes, which have brought over 23 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain, oilseeds and other products to world markets between May and December 2022. Together with the UN Black Sea Grain Initiative and the Grain from Ukraine programme, Solidarity Lanes are essential for our shared objective of ensuring continued availability and affordability of food and fertilisers. We are standing in full solidarity with partners world-wide by stepping up the diplomatic outreach and support for global food security.”
