Russia presents itself as a reliable partner and a source of stability beyond the West. The gap between its promises and its actions keeps growing — instability, broken commitments, shrinking influence. For many governments, the partnership is becoming a liability, not an asset. #StandWithUkraine

Russia's slowest territorial advance in 3 years (just a few sq km in May 2026) came alongside its most intense bombardment since March 2022: 8,351 strikes on Ukrainian cities. 274 civilians killed, 1,763 injured - the highest toll since April 2022. When Russia can't advance, it terrorises.
The Council has renewed the EU economic sanctions against Russia until 31 July 2027. These sanctions target Russia's financial, trade, energy, transport, technology and defence sectors, as well as services provided to Russia or to Russian nationals. 🔗 link.europa.eu/36RYPY
Russia's manpower myth. Its working-age male population is eroding — low birthrates, high mortality, mass emigration, and 1.3M+ battlefield losses since 2022. To compensate: 27,000 foreign recruits from 130 countries, many coerced or deceived. Russia is running out of men. #StandWithUkraine

The numbers Russia doesn't want you to see. Oil prices surged because of Iran conflict but a stronger rouble and fuel subsidies swallowed the windfall. Budget deficit already at 155% of target. Four months in. 20 EU sanctions packages. The pressure isn't stopping. #StandWithUkraine

Russia loves to call its military "invincible." Ukraine has been proving otherwise since 2014 3 myths debunked: ▶️ Russia is an unstoppable military force ▶️ Resistance is pointless ▶️ Ukraine and its allies have already lost the war Spoiler: none of them are true. #StandWithUkraine
As we continue strengthening our security and deterrence, especially on our Eastern border, we will keep increasing the pressure on Russia. We are preparing a 21st package of sanctions.
Russia’s war of aggression has crossed yet another line. A Russian drone incursion struck a densely populated area in Romania, injuring civilians. On EU territory. We stand in full solidarity with Romania and its people.
Full solidarity and support to Romania following the crash of a Russian drone on a residential building in Galați, injuring civilians.
Russia’s escalation on EU territory is reckless and irresponsible. I condemn in the strongest terms this violation of Romania’s national airspace and of international law.
The EU is united in stepping up pressure on Russia through sanctions and strengthening defence capabilities, in particular along our Eastern border.

What's the true cost of sanctions for Russia? Plummeting oil & gas revenues, punishingly expensive borrowing, and the loss of key markets. The Kremlin is struggling to finance its war. Staying the course delivers results. Sanctions work. #StandWithUkraine
