EU in CV

How are EU sanctions affecting Russia? As Europe's energy payments to Russia decline, Russia earns less from one of its most important sources of revenue. That means fewer resources available to sustain its war against Ukraine. Read more: link.europa.eu/NHQGCw

Russia has long presented itself as a reliable partner and a source of stability beyond the West. As pressure mounts, that promise is wearing thin. Partners ask for support and get silence instead, left to manage on their own.

Six Blue Book trainees from the EU visited Cabo Verde to experience firsthand the impact of the EU–Cabo Verde partnership, meeting local partners and exploring EU-supported projects in energy, the blue economy, food security, education and sustainable development.

What matters for Europe now: to accelerate the production of defence equipment. Here Europe and Ukraine will be stronger together by integrating our respective defence industries. Giving us speed, mass production and innovation ↓ x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Congratulations to Prime Minister Francisco Carvalho and the members of the new Government on their inauguration. We look forward to continuing our close cooperation to strengthen the EU-Cabo Verde Special Partnership. #EUCV

Russia is assumed to have limitless manpower. In reality, over 1.3 million losses since 2022 have forced Russia to rely on 27,000 foreign recruits from 130 countries. #EUvsDisinfo

The EU congratulates Janira Hopffer Almada on her election as President of Cabo Verde’s National Assembly, becoming the first woman to hold this position. We wish the XI Legislature every success in its mandate. #EUCV

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

EU & 8 Member States participated in the first European consular crisis exercise in Cabo Verde, to reinforce coordination and joint emergency response. Special thanks to the Consular Affairs Division and all partners for their commitment and excellent cooperation. #TeamEurope

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.

The @EU_Commission is PROUD🌈 Pride week is a celebration of love, identity, courage and community. And every day of the year, we work hard to make Europe a space where everyone can live freely, openly, authentically.

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.
