1000 days ago Russia started its full-scale, unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Its repercussions are devastating.

We admire the determination of Ukrainians to defend their country. Ukraine’s fight for its freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity is also about safeguarding fundamental human values and principles of international law.

We call on Russia to immediately and unconditionally withdraw its troops from Ukraine.

Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security. We will continue supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. As HRVP Josep Borrell said, we commit to supporting Ukraine with whatever it takes to win the war and to win the peace.
