Ahead of the informal meeting of EU leaders in Cyprus, António Costa, Ursula von der Leyen and Volodymyr Zelenskyy deliver a unified message on Ukraine, security, and Europe’s long-term commitment.

The joint statements underline continued EU support for Ukraine — financially, politically, and strategically — while reinforcing pressure on Russia. At the same time, the focus shifts toward the next phase: strengthening Ukraine’s path toward EU membership and ensuring long-term stability.

As geopolitical tensions remain high, the message from Europe’s leadership is consistent: unity, sustained support, and forward-looking decisions will shape the next steps.

This moment reflects not only immediate crisis management, but also Europe’s broader strategic direction.
