The head of the European Commission Ursula von der Lyain congratulated the inhabitants of the European Union on the Day of Europe, which is celebrated on May 9. The main theme of the appeal of von der Lyaden, the text of which is published on the website of the European Commission, was the war in Ukraine.
today our continent is faced with the shadows of the past, which, as we thought, has long been left behind. The brutal war, meaningless aggression and destroyed cities. Millions of innocent people leave their homes. People who are desperately trying to determine their own future, ”noted it,” noted von der Layen.
The head of the European Commission noted that how millions of Europeans came to the rescue of refugees from Ukraine “fills her heart with pride.” Von der Lyain once again emphasized that the EU supports Ukraine and expressed confidence that the European Union will successfully overcome all the difficulties that arose because of the war, including cope with energy dependence from Russia.
