The future of the European project depends on the EU’s decision on Ukraine
During the visit to Kyiv of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stated that the future of the European project depends on whether the EU grants Ukraine candidacy status to join the EU. Zelenskyy said this at a press conference in Kyiv on Saturday, June 11, 2022. — European Pravda correspondent reports.
“Right now it is being determined what the future of a united Europe will be. And whether there will be a future at all. The positive response of the European Union to Ukraine’s application for membership may be a positive answer to the question of whether the European project has a future at all,” Zelenskyy said. He stated that the Ukrainian people have proved that Ukrainian governmental and public institutions remain stable even during a brutal war.
Zelenskyy emphasized that opinion polls in EU countries have shown that the majority of the population of its member states consider Ukraine part of the European family and this, he said, is fair.
“We are looking forward to the political recognition of this reality on June 23-24, 2022,” Zelenskyy said.
