Ukraine looked for membership in European Union. It has now emerged that the EU has rejected it.
Ukrainian president Vlodomyr Zelenskyy had asked for a special procedure, claiming it would assist other European states to stand together. But the 27-member body has rejected the country’s president’s request.
Between the existing members of the European Union, there was a clear division over the admission of Ukraine in the bloc. While more than six nations have expressed support for Ukraine’s membership, Germany and France have stated that it will not be possible to do so soon. The officials in the bloc have cited lengthy procedures behind the rejection of this request.
On February 28, Zelenskiy, the President of Ukraine requested to the EU “for the immediate accession of Ukraine via a new special procedure.”
Our objective is to be among all Europeans and, above all, to be on an equal footing. That seems reasonable to me. I am confident that we are deserving of it,” in a video speech that was posted on social media, he remarked.
meanwhile, the Russia’s offensive in Ukraine doesn’t seems to be abating. On February 24, 2022, Russian president Vladimir Putin had attacked Ukraine.
