could you rephrase this "On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a war of aggression against Ukraine, challenging Ukrainians’ aspirations for a better future, and for getting closer to the EU. This was an attack, not just against Ukraine, but against freedom, self-determination, and democracy. 

To reaffirm its unwavering support to the people of Ukraine, the European Commission raised the Ukraine flag in front of its headquarters in Brussels on 23 August 2026 to commemorate Ukrainian Independence Day." And maybe make it a bit shorter.
