HRVP Message on Europe Day
Two years ago, #Russia brought high-intensity war back to European borders.
A special #EuropeDay message from EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell about how the EU is securing #freedom and #democracy, 74 years after the birth of the EU.
Today is #EuropeDay! #OnThisDay in 1950, French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman presented the Schuman Declaration, which proposed the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community. The ECSC was the first of several supranational European institutions that would ultimately become today's EU.
That means we're 74 years young today! And still going strong as a global leader protecting the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law, and respect for human rights. 💪 🇪🇺

Two Years of War in Ukraine
Europe lives in Ukraine's brave fight for freedom. Europe lives in the eyes of all Ukrainians who fight for a better future.
For the past two years, EU leaders have visited Kyiv to bring European support and solidarity. But they did not bring the spirit of Europe – because it is already there.
As we mark the tragic anniversary of Russia's illegal and unjustified war against Ukraine, the EU says: Slava Ukraini. We #StandWithUkraine. https://europa.eu/!NFHPNB
