The EU has already trained over 80.000 Ukrainian soldiers.
We must be ready to do more.
Today, EU Defence Ministers broadly supported the expansion of the mandate for our EU Military Assistance Mission to provide training in Ukraine, after any truce.

Transatlantic unity, support to Ukraine and pressure on Russia is how we will end this war and prevent future Russian aggression in Europe.

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.
We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.
Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Vandaag zag ik iemand eervol, moedig en fatsoenlijk de belangen van zijn land verdedigen in het Witte Huis. Het was de gast, niet de gastheer helaas. Zelenskyy verdient de volledige steun van de EU en ook Nederland zal er een schep bovenop moeten doen.

This might just be one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen... Trump is such a small small egotistical man who cares for nothing but himself.
BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office.
Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US.
Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him.
This is unbelievable.

Three years since Russia launched its full-scale war.
Three years of Ukrainian heroism.
It was an honour for me to receive the flag of the 36th Separate Marine Brigade, a witness to Ukrainians’ bravery on the battlefield.
The EU will stand with Ukraine and its people, always.

Are We Now the Bad Guys?
There was a time, not too long ago, when America stood as the beacon of freedom, the defender of democracy, and the steadfast ally of those who resisted oppression.
