The new Gender Equality Strategy 2026-2030 sets out further steps to strengthen women’s participation, rights and opportunities. Read more:

Sanctions are biting Russia's war economy. They drain reserves, cut trade and make it more difficult by the day to finance the war of aggression against Ukraine. Rising VAT, accumulating debt and stagnating industries are all indicative of an unsustainable militarised economy. Find out more:

For ten years in a row, EU member states have increased defence spending. In 2025, that reached €381 billion, up 63% since 2020. Behind that number: 633,000 people working in a defence industry that generated €183 billion in turnover last year. And we are not stopping there. EU defence initiatives, including through SAFE and EDIP, will facilitate up to €800 billion in defence investments over the next four years, so Member States and industry can respond swiftly to growing threats. A safer Europe starts here.

It has been four years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In solidarity with the Ukrainian people, we are raising the Ukrainian flag alongside the flag of the European Union in front of the EEAS headquarters. This is the first time a flag is raised here. This gesture is more than symbolic. It reflects our conviction that Ukraine’s future lies within the EU. Four years on, Russia is paying a heavy price for a fatal miscalculation. Its military is bogged down; its economy is in rapid decline. With our support, Ukrainians are resisting and holding firm. The fastest path to end this war is more pressure on Russia and more support to Ukraine. None of us wish to mark this war anniversary ever again

Russia unlawfully deported and forcibly transferred more than 20,000 Ukrainian children, while depriving millions more of safe childhoods since the start of the invasion. Russia’s systematic violations of children’s rights make a coordinated international action more urgent than ever. On 11 May, the EU, Ukraine and Canada will co-host a High-Level Meeting of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children in Brussels, bringing together Coalition members and partner countries that share our commitment to trace, return and reintegrate every child, and to ensure accountability for Russia’s crimes.
