European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has reaffirmed the European Union’s continued support for Ukraine ahead of the 35th anniversary of the country’s independence.
In a post on X on Monday, August 24, von der Leyen said the blue and yellow colors of the Ukrainian flag have become symbols of the country’s “courage, resilience and determination.”
She said the European Commission building was illuminated in blue and yellow ahead of Ukraine’s Independence Day, an action she described as a symbol of continued support for Ukraine and its people.
The European Commission president described Ukraine as a “brave neighbor, trusted partner and future member of the European Union.”
