Ukrainian flag raised at European Commission headquarters

The Ukrainian flag was raised outside the European Commission headquarters in Brussels as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine ahead of the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

The European Commission announced this in a post on X, as cited by Ukrinform.

The European Commission described the flag as “Europe's symbol of resilience and hope.”

“The flag we raise today embodies the unyielding spirit of a nation that has for four years been fighting full-scale unprovoked violence and destruction. Ukraine’s cause is the cause of just peace on our continent,” the statement reads.
