After the EU foreign ministers’ visit to Kiev, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj expressed confidence in his country’s early EU membership.
“We all know that it is only a matter of time before Ukraine becomes a member of the EU,” Zelensky said in his evening video speech. Then, referring to the visit of diplomats from the 27 EU states, he added: “So the meeting actually already took place in the EU.”
Ukraine, which has been defending itself against Russia’s war of aggression for more than 19 months, has had EU candidate status since summer 2022. Zelensky emphasized that his country’s goal is to begin accession negotiations this year. He promised that Ukraine would meet all the demands made by the EU Commission.
