In the two years since Russia launched its unprovoked and illegal invasion of Ukraine, the vigorous international support that erupted in response has begun to wane.

"I would never have been able to predict both how much we managed to achieve, but also how many crises and challenges we've had to overcome and to handle," the Parliament's president, Roberta Metsola, told Eu...

This is one of the main conclusions from an exclusive Euronews poll conducted by Ipsos among almost 26,000 respondents across 18 member states ahead of the elections to the European Parliament, which will be held between 6 and 9 June.

This makes Zelensk...

The two-day visit came in the run up to the EU election in June where the far-right, who are mainly less supportive of Ukraine and less opposed to Russia, are expected to make big gains. "It's an important signal for our men, our women, our children that we are part of Europe and Europe knows that we are this defending shield for our common values," Volodymr Zelenskyy said. He also stressed Ukraine's urgent need for more weapons and ammunition to the delegation. Hours after the visit, Renew Europe's president Valerie Hayer urged the EU to expose any MEPs, or any candidates, who have accepted m...
