Ukrainians inspire the world with their courage. Their resilience calls for our full support.

I have just been to Kyiv, alongside EU Foreign Ministers, determined and united in our support for Ukraine.

Here are some key highlights of our visit:

🔹 Accountability – in the morning, we visited Bucha to mark four years since its liberation. Bucha exposed the systematic brutality of Russia’s war. There can be no just and lasting peace without accountability for Russia. This is why the EU is advancing the establishment of a Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression.

🔹 Sanctions against Russia – The way to end this war is to confront Moscow, not reward it. The 20th sanctions package is ready to go, and we will tighten the net further, especially around Russia’s shadow fleet. We must also continue to cripple Russia’s military industrial complex.

🔹 Financial support – we provided an additional €80 million to Ukraine, drawn from the profits of Russian frozen assets.

🔹 Defence industry – Ukraine’s defence industry is innovating at extraordinary speed. Its expertise in drone defence is second to none. That’s why we are investing in Ukraine’s capabilities. There is a clear case for integrating Ukrainian companies even more deeply into Europe’s defence industry.

🔹 Generators – Ukraine’s railways have become prime targets for Russian attacks. Electricity sources have been hit a lot. That is why I was pleased to deliver additional electricity generators for Ukrainian Railways. This was part of a broader package worth €1.4 million to support Ukrainian Railways.

🔹 Ukraine’s veterans – The EU is also expanding support for the rehabilitation and reintegration of Ukrainian veterans into civilian sectors in Ukraine.
