We appeal to European Union for urgent accession of Ukraine - Zelensky

Ukraine appeals to the European Union for urgent accession to the EU. This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in a video message on February 28.

"Yesterday I spoke with the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen about further and even stronger steps. Europeans are aware that our soldiers are fighting for our state, therefore - for the whole of Europe. For the peace for all countries of the European Union. For the lives of children, for equality, for democracy. And this gives us every right to do the following. We appeal to the European Union for the urgent accession of Ukraine under a new special procedure. We are grateful to our partners for being by our side. But our goal is to be together with all Europeans. And the main thing is to be on an equal footing! I am sure that this is fair. I am sure that we deserve it. I am sure that this is possible", - the President said.
