In what the European Council president, President Charles Michel, called a “historic moment,” the announcement was made after discussions among leaders of the EU’s 27 member states during a summit Thursday in Brussels.
The European Commission had, last week, recommended that Ukraine should be granted candidate status to pave way for the country’s membership of the bloc. The commission’s president, Ursula von der Leyen, had said Ukraine had “already implemented roughly 70 per cent of rules, norms and standards.”
In a statement approving the candidate status, The European Council said, “The European Council recognises the European perspective of Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova and Georgia. The future of these countries and their citizens lies within the European Union.

Good to know
ReplyDeleteWe(married and divorced men) don’t consider this a good news when they goaded Russia to war with Ukraine, while encouraging ukraine that EU will protect them or welcome them into EU.. Imagine a woman telling a man that she’s considering him for marriage but it could take years before she accepts his proposal, however, he MUST keep spending...The same goes for men that keep “good women (we said good women not bad women)” in relationship or situationship status forEVER as her youthful age decreases... Can we just make up our damn minds already ? Just make up your damn mind and admit Ukraine into EU. They already wrecked their country for EU.... This is IMMORAL.
