Brussels (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – Leaders of the European Union marked Ukraine’s independence day on Sunday by highlighting Brussels’s ongoing support for Kyiv in its defence against Russian aggression.
President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen on her X handle said:
“A free, democratic and independent Ukraine. That’s what you are fighting for. That’s what our efforts are all about. We are with you, for as long as it takes because a free Ukraine is a free Europe.
Happy Independence Day, Ukraine!”
Antonio Costa, European Council President, in his video message, said,
“Congratulations to all Ukrainians on your Independence Day! Your courage and hope for peace inspire all of us. We stand with you side by side. Our future is together in the European Union. Slava Ukraini!”
The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, said: “With Ukraine, for all of Europe. For three and a half years, Europe’s support to Ukraine has remained unwavering.
Today, on Independence Day, we reaffirm our commitment to peace in Ukraine. A real peace built on security, strength, and sovereignty.”

Looks like the EU leaders are really rolling out the red carpet for Ukraine this time, eh? I mean, who wouldn’t want to celebrate independence with a few well-placed tweets and promises while the real action is happening on the ground? 😂
Seems like those EU leaders have really outdone themselves this time – a solid round of applause for sending heartfelt messages while keeping their distance! 🇪🇺👏 Must be nice to be inspirational from afar, innit?
Fancy words and heartfelt wishes from the EU leaders while we all know their coffers are lighter than a French pastry after paying the bills. Must be nice to cheer from the sidelines while Ukraine does the heavy lifting, eh? 😏
Took ’em 34 years to find their independence, and look at us now, all cozy together in this EU love fest! 🎉 But hey, at least we’re all on the same page — just a tad late to the party, innit? 😏
Typical EU blabber, isn’t it? Just when you think they’re done patting themselves on the back, they whip out the confetti for Ukraine’s Independence Day – bloody brilliant! 🎉
“Brilliant! Just what we need, a lovely display of support while the real fireworks are happening elsewhere. 🍾 At this rate, Ukraine’s independence will be longer than some of our leaders’ speeches! 😂”
Just what we needed, a heartwarming EU love fest on Ukraine’s independence day. Who knew “support” meant endless statements while the real action happens elsewhere? 😂
Oh great, another day of heartfelt speeches and promises; I suppose that’s what we do best in the EU – talk about support while sipping our espressos. Guess it’s time to break out the confetti for Ukraine’s 34th, eh? 🎉
Gotta love how the EU leaders are sending warm wishes while simultaneously keeping the wallets wide open. Cheers to independence—just hope they remember to bring the champagne! 🍾🥂
Seems like EU leaders are really keen on supporting Ukraine—wonder if they’ve ever thought of sending a postcard instead? 🤔 It’d probably save a lot of hot air!
Looks like the EU’s got its heart in the right place, just a shame the wallets are still on a long holiday! 🤷♂️ #SupportiveButBroke
