Clear statement of 🇺🇦 support from @vonderleyen —
As peace talks are ongoing, the EU remains ironclad in its support for Ukraine. Our financing proposals are on the table. The goal is a strong Ukraine, on the battlefield and at the negotiating table. We reaffirmed to President @ZelenskyyUA that the EU remains steadfast and

Ukraine lived through Russian hell again last night! 653 drones and 51 missiles hit multiple regions — Kyiv, Lutsk, Lviv, Poltava, Zaporizhzhia — fires,destruction, power outages. Here’s the reality: while peace talks continue, Russia chooses destruction.

@VDombrovskis
With today's proposals, we can give Ukrainians the means to defend themselves. And take forward peace talks from a position of strength. We are putting forward solutions to support Ukraine's budget and strengthen its defence industry ↓

Incredibly important myth busting info from Czechia 🇨🇿- that hosting 🇺🇦 refugees is not a financial loss. Quite to the contrary. I am certain this is the case in other 🇪🇺 countries too!! 🙏 @SergiyKyslytsya for publishing this. @EUDelegationUA
Доходи від українських біженців і компенсація, отримана від ЄС, перевищила витрати Чехії на Україну та українців "на 12,7 мільярда чеських крон". Тобто Чехія не тільки фінансово не втратила під час війни в Україні, вона ще й заробила 12,7 млрд крон, тобто 609 млн доларів - про це

Shocked by Russia’s massive overnight attack on Kyiv and several regions. 36 missiles & about 600 drones hit homes, infrastructure and civilian areas — at least 3 dead and 37 injured. While the world discusses a possible peace deal. Moscow answers with missiles, not diplomacy.

Honoured to open #SanctionsSummit w/ 🇺🇦PM @Svyrydenko_Y & 🇪🇺 Sanctions Envoy O'Sullivan. Russian terror continues to destroy — accountability is more urgent than ever. Sanctions are our strongest tool to raise the cost of Russia’s war of aggression, backed by firm EU support.

Clear language of @vonderleyen both on ongoing peace efforts and last night’s brutal Russian attacks on Ukraine and, n particular, its capital Kyiv.

Kyiv woke up shaken after a brutal night attack. While 🇺🇦 works w/ EU & US partners on just peace, Russia answers with terror against civilians. At least 6 killed & 10+ injured after drones & missiles hit residential areas. Yet 🇺🇦 stands. And we stand with Ukraine.

Spoke with @ZelenskyyUa ahead of this morning’s informal 🇪🇺 EU leaders’ meeting on 🇺🇦 Ukraine peace efforts, to get his assessment of the situation. A united and coordinated EU position is key in ensuring a good outcome of peace negotiations - for Ukraine and for Europe.
