Our EU Delegation in #Kyiv was heavily damaged this morning when a Russian missile struck a neighbouring building.
The explosion shattered windows and caused a ceiling collapse.
All our staff are safe. 🇪🇺🇺🇦

Today is all about you, #aidworkers, who carry light into darkness.
You cross the frontlines with nothing but courage, tend to the wounded, feed the hungry, hold the forgotten.
In a world where the laws of war are broken, you represent our humanity.

🔥🇪🇺 Southern Europe is burning.
For weeks, dozens of wildfires have swept across Spain, Portugal, Italy, Turkey, Albany, France and Greece.
Tens of thousands of hectares lost. Homes, forests, and lives destroyed.
This is a regional tragedy — and a warning for all of Europe.

Last night, Russia launched its largest attack on #Ukraine to date.
3 yrs into this nightmare, the suffering continues to deepen.
As Russia shows utter disregard of IHL, the EU continues to stand by Ukraine, delivering life-saving aid & supporting those hit hardest by the war.

Happy Birthday 🇪🇺 !
On 29 June 1985, European leaders chose a flag to represent a shared vision.
Twelve stars, not for nations but for unity, harmony and hope.
A symbol that has grown with us. From a sign of peace to a reflection of our values.
Today, we celebrate 40 years of the EU flag.
