[Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU 2026 @CY2026EU]

Τοday the Cyprus Presidency initiated the preparation for the formal opening of Cluster one in the accession negotiations of Ukraine and Moldova.

This marks a significant milestone in their European integration path, and sends a strong message of EU unity and determination.

In the coming days, we will continue working dedicately towards finalizing the discussions in the Council for the formal opening of the cluster.

The Cyprus Presidency, guided by the merit-based approach, is delivering on enlargement, which is a strategic priority and one of the European Union’s most transformative policies.

Tack så mycket😍🇸🇪

You can do a lot with Gripen fighter jets.

But they’re built for one thing.

Good luck, Ukraine.

[U.S. Embassy Kyiv @USEmbassyKyiv]

Today, I joined fellow members of the diplomatic corps at the site of a nine-story residential building struck during Russia’s May 14 overnight attack – one of the deadliest attacks on Kyiv since the start of the full-scale invasion.

As Ukraine marks a Day of Mourning, we extend our deepest condolences to all affected by this senseless tragedy.

‼️Глава МЗС Сибіга:

«Сьогодні в Будапешті угорська влада захопила в заручники 7 громадян України. Причини, стан здоров'я та можливість зв'язку з ними невідомі.

7 українців є співробітниками Ощадбанку, виконували рейс на двох інкасаторських автомобілях між Австрією та Україною

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Today in Budapest, Hungarian authorities took seven Ukrainian citizens hostage. The reasons are still unknown, as well as their current well-being, or the possibility of contacting them.

These seven Ukrainians are employees of state-owned Oschadbank, who were operating two bank cars transiting between Austria and Ukraine and carrying cash as part of regular services between state banks.

In fact, we are talking about Hungary taking hostages and stealing money. If this is the “force” announced earlier today by Mr Orban, then this is a force of a criminal gang. This is state terrorism and racketeering.

We have already sent an official note demanding an immediate release of our citizens.

We will also address the European Union with the request to provide a clear qualification of Hungary’s unlawful actions, hostage-taking, and robbery.

Statement by Oschadbank: https://t.co/eHXttlnKNR

Thanks, President Stubb, you are a true friend of Ukraine 🇺🇦🇫🇮

[Alexander Stubb @alexstubb]

I visited Kyiv on the anniversary of the war in Ukraine together with European leaders.

Russia invaded Ukraine four years ago. Initially, the war was supposed to last four days.

The Ukrainians have been fighting for their independence for four years. Right now, they are fighting for all of Europe. We will support Ukraine for as long as it takes.

Slava Ukraini.
