President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine needs a quick move to the European Union through the status of a candidate, which should be granted right now – in conditions of war.
The head of state stressed that this war of Russia against Ukraine was planned as a prelude to a strike against a united Europe.
Zelensky stated this at the international donor conference for Ukraine in Warsaw on May 5.
“We need a rapid movement of Ukraine into the European Union through the status of a candidate, which should be granted right now – in the conditions of war. As part of a special shortened procedure for gaining EU membership. Because this war of Russia against Ukraine was planned as a prelude to a blow to a united Europe. More Unification is a powerful response,” the President stressed.
“And therefore, Ukraine’s membership in the European Union must be an absolute reality. Not just promises, not just a prospect, but practical steps. I know that we are ready for these steps. And you know this too. And I am sure that most of you, European leaders are also ready for this,” Zelensky concluded.
Recall, on May 4, the President of the European Council , Charles Michel, said that he was not yet ready to name a specific date for the consideration of Ukraine’s application for membership in the Union to the agenda of EU leaders.
