Hungary has blocked the EU from imposing sanctions on violent Israeli settlers in the West Bank, while also halting a 20th sanctions package against Russia and a major loan to Ukraine. In response, EU High Representative Kaja Kallas criticized the EU's requirement for unanimous agreement, arguing that allowing a single member state to overrule the other 26 creates a "tyranny of the single vote" that severely hinders the bloc's foreign policy and human rights efforts.

Ukraine’s fight is our fight.

Tonight, the colours of Ukraine on our headquarters stand as a reminder of the courage and resilience of its people, and the enduring pain of a war that continues, after four years.

Not just as a symbol of solidarity, but as a tribute to those who have lost their lives, and a call to redouble our efforts towards a just and lasting peace.

Europe's shared values, strength, and commitment will never waver.

We #StandWithUkraine
