The European Union, in a statement delivered at the OSCE Forum for Security Co-operation on 10 June 2026, condemned Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, noting it has now lasted as long as the First World War. The EU reiterated its call for a full, unconditional and immediate ceasefire as a prerequisite for meaningful peace negotiations, and reaffirmed support for Ukraine's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, including the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson regions and Crimea.
The statement, published by the EEAS on 15 June 2026, was delivered by the EU Delegation to the International Organisations in Vienna. It highlighted Russia's violations of the UN Charter and OSCE principles, including strikes on civilians, energy infrastructure, and cultural heritage sites, as well as the use of missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The EU also noted that Russian armed and security forces were newly listed among abusers responsible for conflict-related sexual violence, based on UN findings.
The EU condemned the deployment of DPRK military forces in the war and continued support from Belarus, Iran and the DPRK. It expressed solidarity with Romania following a drone explosion in Constanta and a previous incident in Galati, calling these violations of EU Member States' sovereign territory. The EU reaffirmed its commitment to accountability for war crimes and other serious crimes.
The EU and its Member States pledged continued multi-faceted support to Ukraine, including political, financial, economic, humanitarian, military and diplomatic assistance. The statement was endorsed by Albania, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Republic of Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Norway and Ukraine.
