With this disbursement, we are helping safeguard Ukraine’s financial stability today. We’re also building the foundations for its recovery tomorrow. Because Europe stands by Ukraine’s side. And will do so for as long as it takes. link.europa.eu/pdHPyb

Ukrainian children unlawfully taken from occupied Ukraine. Forcibly transferred to Russia. Separated from their country and identity. ‘Rescue’ is the Kremlin’s word. War crime is the legal category.

The European Union supports all efforts to stop this war. Conditions for a lasting peace are well known: it must respect Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and Ukraine’s right to choose its future. It must respect the United Nations Charter.
