The European Union's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, visited Odessa on an unannounced visit on Saturday, according to Ukrainskaia Pravda. In a post on Twitter, Borrell said that Odessa is a beautiful historic city that should be in the news for its culture, not as a target of Putin's war.
Borrell reiterated the EU's support for Ukraine in rebuilding infrastructure that has been destroyed by Russia, saying that the bloc will stand with the Ukrainian people "for as long as it takes."
Odesa is a beautiful historic city. It should be in the headlines for its vibrant culture & spirit.
