Commission reaffirms support for Ukraine and its people after 1000 days of war

That is 1000 days since Ukraine and its people have withstood Russia's illegal attacks, such as the ones we saw a few days ago targeting civilian infrastructure and electricity systems.

The European Commission stands firm in its commitment and solidarity with Ukraine. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the EU and its Member States have mobilised unprecedented economic, humanitarian, and military assistance to Ukraine and Ukrainians, totalling so far around €124 billion.

We have provided protection to 4 million people who fled the war, led international efforts to support Ukraine's sovereignty, security and reconstruction, as well as to hold Russia accountable. We have put in place a set of far-reaching sanctions against Russia and its leadership.
