European Parliament accepts Ukraine's application for European Union

The development came soon after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the Parliament earlier on Tuesday.

“European Parliament recognizes Ukraine’s European perspective. As our Resolution clearly states, we welcome Ukraine’s application for candidate status and we will work towards that goal. We must face the future together,” European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said, while addressing the extraordinary Plenary Session of the European Parliament on “Russian aggression against Ukraine”.

On Monday, Ukrainian President Zelensky signed the application for Ukraine to become a part of the European Union. The move came right after Ukraine and Russia held talks in Belarus. (ILKHA)
