The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, asked the European Union (EU) on Monday to immediate accession of your country to the community club.
“We call on the European Union for the immediate accession of Ukraine under a new special procedure“, he pointed out in a new video message to the population. “We thank our partners for being with us, but our goal is to be with all Europeans and, most importantly, to be equal,” he added.
The Ukrainian president said he was sure that this decision would be “fair”, and he was convinced that “it is possible”.
Ukraine has enshrined the Euro-Atlantic path in the Constitution and has been pressing for eight years to open the process. Zelensky has been asking community leaders for months to give him a straight answer on when Ukraine will be able to join the EU, but to no avail, he has revealed.
The mandatary argued that the Ukrainians have shown the world who they are and Russia He has shown what he has become. In addition, she said that as of this Sunday in just four days of Russian war, sixteen Ukrainian children were killed and 45 wounded.
“Every crime, each bombardment that the occupiers commit against us, unites us and our partners even more. Russia did not believe in such a supportive and powerful reaction. But the Ukrainians have changed that story,” she added.
Zelensky thanked the EU for deciding on Sunday, for the first time in its history, to organize and finance, with 500 million euros, the supply of weapons in a war in a third country, in this case the one waged by Ukraine against the Russian invader.
The Ukrainian president is in constant contact with the EU leadership and the heads of government and presidents of the Twenty-seven. Zelensky said that this Sunday hspoke with the president of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyen“on further steps, even stronger”.
“The Europeans we are aware that our soldiers fight for our country and therefore throughout Europe. For the peace of all European countries, for the lives of children, for equality, for democracy,” he said.
