European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Kyiv on Friday presented Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with paperwork for his country to join the European Union.

Handing over a document at a joint press conference, she said: "This is where your path towards the European Union begins."

"We stand ready to support you in filling out this questionnaire," von der Leyen said, adding: "It will not be, as usual, a matter of years, but rather a matter of weeks" to complete this step.

The questionnaire, she explained, forms the basis of an opinion that gets passed on to the European Council.

Von der Leyen said she intended to, "present Ukraine's application to the [European] Council this summer."

During the joint press conference von der Leyen said: "Russia will descend in economic, financial and technological decay while Ukraine is marching towards a European future."

The biggest mistake Ukraine will do is to join EU and NATO at this time.
They will crumble more than Lybia.

Will you keep quiet, f00ls like you will be first to queue for Ukrainian visa and go there to enjoy benefits of their EU membership when they get it, you think it's every nation is like your Nigeria that cares about nothing and it's future? Ukraine will come out of this war bigger and stronger.

Shabbyiyo:


With this your comment, I believe you don't know the story from the beginning.

I don't argue with new generations.

sanpipita:


Another ignoramus pretending to know what's happening, probably you are high on Russian propaganda anyway Ukraine will join EU and build themselves back and people like you will queue for their visa

Shabbyiyo:

Why are you sounding with so much frustration?

Please go and ease your frustration elsewhere.

We will soon see the result.

sanpipita:


You are the one getting frustrated, two months of war you expected to end in three days, cowards like you would have given up instead of defending their country, never run your mouth against Ukrainians for defending their country
