Amidst the devastation of Russia's war, Ukrainian servicewomen fight for their country and the future of their families.

Their strength stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of Ukraine.

A reminder for these times.

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.
