Ukraine has already sought rapprochement with the EU in the past. After the Russian invasion, Zelenskyy is now renewing the push for admission to the European confederation.
In the face of the Russian attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for his country’s admission to the European Union.
“It is a crucial moment to end the long-standing discussion once and for all and to decide on Ukraine’s membership in the #EU,” Zelenskyy tweeted on Saturday. He discussed “further effective aid” and the “heroic fight of the Ukrainians for their free future” with EU Council President Charles Michel.
EU membership for Ukraine has so far been considered impossible. According to experts, such a step would also make an agreement with Russia impossible.
The question of rapprochement with the EU triggered the mass protests on Kiev’s central Maidan square. They led to the fall of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. As a result, Russia annexed the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, and war broke out in eastern Ukraine.
