The day before, the head of the European Commission said that the EU's solidarity with Ukraine would be “unshakable”. She pointed out that the EU has been on the Ukrainian side from day one, helping with weapons, providing financial assistance and imposing “the most powerful sanctions the world has ever known” against Russia.
