In the face of the Russian attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy insists on his country joining the EU. “We are turning to the EU for the immediate admission of Ukraine under a new special procedure”Zelenskyy said.
A resolution of the EU Parliament to be voted on this Tuesday urges Ukraine to join the EU. The text calls on the EU institutions to give the country EU candidate status. In the meantime, according to the resolution, work should continue to integrate the Ukrainian market into the EU’s internal market. The resolution is available from the German Press Agency. According to the information, it has been coordinated between the groups, with the exception of the right-wing national ID group.
However, a spokesman for the European Commission dampened expectations of rapid accession. There is a process for accession negotiations to become an EU member, the spokesman said. The final decision rests with the EU countries and not the Commission. Before countries can become EU members, they must transpose applicable EU laws into national law and meet a number of criteria.
