Tonight, our @ec.europa.eu buildings glow in the colours of bravery.
The Ukrainian flag is the symbol of Ukraine's resistance and it's unshakeable belief in a better future.
A future of a free and independent Ukraine, inside our Union.

Big strategic moment for 🇫🇷 and 🇬🇧 (and Europe) at the summit in London today. The two countries are to state for the first time that their respective nuclear deterrents “can be co-ordinated”, and that “there is no extreme threat to Europe that would not prompt a response by both nations”

When will European leaders understand that it is in their security interests to defeat Moscow urgently?
Are they waiting for it to become stronger?
