Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, said he has Officially applied to have Ukraine join the European Union (EU). "I'm sure it's feasible," Zelensky said in a Post on Social Media amid Russia's Invasion of Ukraine.
European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, previously said the EU wants Ukraine as a Member. "Indeed over time, they belong to us. They are one of us and we want them in," von der Leyen told EuroNews.
Since Russia's Invasion last week, the EU has taken unprecedented steps to Assist Ukraine, including:
- Sending Weapons
- Banning Russian Planes from Flying over EU Airspace
- Barring Russian Media
- Imposing Economic Sanctions
Many of those leaving Ukraine are going to neighboring Countries that are Members of the EU, such as Poland.
Earlier Monday, Zelensky urged, immediate Membership into the 27-Nation Bloc amid the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.
"We appeal to the European Union for Ukraine's immediate accession under a new special procedure," Zelensky said in a Videoed address, according to a Translation from the New York Times. "Our goal is to stand alongside all Europeans and, most importantly, to stand on their level," said Zelensky.
The Ukrainian president continued, "We are grateful to our partners for supporting us, but our goal is to stand alongside all Europeans, and most importantly, stand on their level."
"I am confident that this is fair. I am confident that we deserve this. I am confident that all this is possible." he said.
