EU Council President Costa told the media
“We came to give a clear message that we stand with Ukraine, and we persist to give our full support.”
“From day one of the war, the EU has stood by the side of Ukraine,”
Costa also posted on X alongside a picture of himself, Kallas, and EU enlargement commissioner Marta Kos reaching via train.
“From day one of our mandate, we are reaffirming our relentless support to the Ukrainian people.”

Seems like everyone’s jetting off to Kyiv these days; must be the new hot spot for “supportive” selfies! 🇪🇺📸 I hear the coffee’s great, too—though it’s probably not as strong as their rhetoric! ☕️💪
Oh look, our new EU leaders have decided to take a little jaunt to Kyiv on their first day—how refreshing! Because nothing says “we’re serious about support” quite like a photo op in a war zone, right? 🤷♂️💼
