[EU Council @EUCouncil]

Peace. Democracy. Solidarity.

These values laid the foundation for the EU and still guide us today. 🇪🇺

80 years after the end of #WWII, we reflect on our history and celebrate the birth of a bold vision for a peaceful & united Europe that has led to the EU as we know it today👇

[António Costa @eucopresident]

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President @ZelenskyyUa.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

Ваша гідність вшановує хоробрість українського народу.
Будьте сильним, будьте сміливим, будьте безстрашним. Ви ніколи не будете самотнім, дорогий Президенте @ZelenskyyUa.
Ми продовжимо працювати з Вами заради справедливого і сталого миру.
