THE INTEGRATED SUPPORT GRANTED BY THE EU TO THE STATE OF UKRAINE

The EU condemns in the strongest possible terms Russia's unprovoked and unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine, which it says is a flagrant violation of international law, including the UN Charter, and calls on Russia to immediately and unconditionally withdraw all its military personnel and equipment. throughout the territory of Ukraine, with full respect for the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders, and to cease all hostilities. Ukraine's peace formula is supported as the only legitimate and credible path to a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in accordance with the UN Charter. The future of Ukraine and its people lies in the European Union. The EU will stand with Ukraine on the path of reconstruction and reform every step of the way. The EU is united and resolute in its support for Ukraine. Since the start of the large-scale invasion, Team Europe has mobilized more than €88 billion to help Ukraine and its people. In March 2022, the EU activated the Temporary Protection Directive and EU Member States have since been providing protection to Ukrainian citizens displaced by the war, with more than 4 million people under temporary protection in the EU. The temporary protection was extended until March 2025. The EU has made it clear that it will stand by Ukraine and its people as long as necessary and on all fronts: humanitarian, economic, financial, political, diplomatic and military. It is heartbreaking to witness countless objects of cultural heritage systematically and deliberately destroyed and looted as part of Russia's large-scale aggression in Ukraine.
