Violence against women and girls: @EUCouncil sanctions nine individuals and three entities under its Global #HumanRights regime. The EU is committed to promote and protect human rights around the world. 👇

The EU 27 have now adopted a 10th sanctions package. We will not rest in supporting Ukraine, crippling Russia’s war machine and targeting those associated to it. And we are taking steps against those who attempt to circumvent EU measures.

One year after Russia started its war of aggression, EU’s resolve remains unwavering. We'll make sure that 🇺🇦 prevails. That its territorial integrity is restored, that the country will be rebuilt & justice will be done. Until that day, we will not rest.

One year ago, Russia unleashed a brutal aggression against #Ukraine. Thinking it can invade its peaceful neighbour. But it failed. The EU stands in support of #Ukraine. Our commitment to the European future of Ukraine remains unwavering. Our joint message:

Strong expression of the EU27 at #EUCO of solidarity and empathy with the people of Türkiye and Syria.

A minute of silence for the people of Türkiye and Syria. Our thoughts continue to be with the families who have lost loved ones and those still awaiting news. The EU stands in full solidarity.

Welcome home, welcome to the EU @ZelenskyyUA.

Deeply saddened to hear this morning about the devastating earthquake hitting parts of Türkiye and Syria. My deepest condolences to the many families that lost lives and wishing a fast recovery of the injured. The EU stands in full solidarity with you.

Press conference with @vonderleyen & @ZelenskyyUa https://t.co/rd27Meth4K

Back in Kyiv for the EU-#Ukraine Summit with @ZelenskyyUa @vonderleyen and @JosepBorrellF There will be no let up in our resolve. We will also support you every step of the way on your journey to the EU.

⬇️🔴 Live now! "Equity, excellence and innovation: modern cancer care for all" with @SKyriakidesEU, @AckoAnkarberg and other experts. Watch this hybrid conference with @EU_Health down below or at https://t.co/pJsfb2tKiN. #EU2023SE https://t.co/IfNtI2tuHi

@ZelenskyyUa I am absolutely convinced that a brighter future awaits you all. A future within the EU. A future with peace, with prosperity. There can be no independent and safe Europe without an independent and safe Ukraine. There can be no free Europe without a free Ukraine.

Churchill used freedom and hope as a weapon to defeat the Nazis. Mandela used his prison cell as a symbol of spiritual liberty to transform his country. Today @ZelenskyyUa embodies 🇺🇦’s spirit of national resistance. You will win because of this spirit & because you are not alone

We decided to grant EU candidate status to Ukraine. Ukraine is the EU. And the EU is Ukraine. I have one dream. I dream that one day a Ukrainian will hold my job as President of the European Council. Or as President of the European Parliament. Or President of the Commission.

22 years after gaining your independence, you Ukrainians decided to say: "We are European". So today, I have come to Ukraine to tell the people of Ukraine: "We are all Ukrainians".

@ZelenskyyUa I am proud that a few months ago we succeeded in convincing everyone to grant EU candidate status to Ukraine. I am fully committed to continue working closely with you to advance this process. We must each do our part to ensure the process progresses as swiftly as possible.

@ZelenskyyUa We hear your message. You need more air defence and artillery systems, more ammunitions. I firmly believe that tanks must be delivered. We want to support you because we are aware that the next few weeks may be decisive for what comes next. @ZelenskyyUa

Nearly a year after Russia’s brutal attack against the Ukrainian people and the values and principles of European democracy, I am touched to be back on Ukrainian soil today. Watch the press conference after the meeting with President @ZelenskyyUA. https://t.co/8Ovi6aQBfR

Impressed by the veterans’ courage at the EU-funded rehabilitation center in #Kyiv. Ukraine is unbreakable.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Back in #Kyiv to discuss all strands of cooperation. May 2023 be the year of victory and peace.

On my way to #Kyiv. Ukrainians are fighting for their land, for the future of their children. But they are also fighting for our common European values of peace and prosperity. They need and deserve our support.
