Russia loves to portray its military as “invincible.” Since 2014, Ukraine has exposed Russia to be more of a paper bear, and in recent months managed to stall its battlefield progress. Discover three long running myths behind Russia’s “invincible” image. @EUvsDisinfo @eu_eeas

What is the true cost of sanctions for Russia? Plummeting oil & gas revenues, punishingly expensive borrowing & the loss of key markets. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the Kremlin to finance the war against Ukraine. Staying the course delivers results. Sanctions work.

We are allocating an extra €15 million in humanitarian assistance to support the response to the Ebola outbreak affecting the DRC and Uganda. Safeguarding public health remains our priority as diseases do not stop at borders and cooperation is essential.

Russia has been portraying the EU and Ukraine’s leadership as “warmongers” unwilling to end the war. This is, of course, an outright lie. In reality, it is the Kremlin that has rejected at least seven peace proposals in 2025 alone. #EUCV

Equality, participation and non-discrimination are at the heart of democracy. Yet across the world, too many LGBTIQ persons still face violence, discrimination, hate speech and stigmatisation simply for being who they are. In more than 65 countries, consensual same-sex relations remain criminalised. Where discrimination persists, democracy cannot fully thrive. The EU remains committed to defending the human rights of all LGBTIQ persons and to promoting inclusive and democratic societies for all.

Over four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. What was meant to weaken Europe strengthened our unity. Ukraine stands firm. Europe stands with Ukraine. Russia’s aggression was a strategic miscalculation and our support to Ukraine remains steadfast. @EUvsDisinfo

#EuropeDay On 9 May futsal brought Europe & Cabo Verde together in Praia. More than 100 athletes, 10 teams and a lively crowd turned the tournament into a moment of friendship. Spain won the competition, but the real winners were the values and bonds that unite the EU and CV.

In the EU, we generate around 5 tonnes of waste per person every year. About half is recycled, keeping materials in use for longer. On #ZeroWasteDay, it is time to use resources better. More: link.europa.eu/jKmQdC
