President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday that 'a Ukraine that is winning' should become a European Union member, arguing the bloc wouldn't be whole without his country being an integral part of the EU. Zelenskky made his comments during an address to the European Parliament on a rare trip outside Ukraine.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday that "a Ukraine that is winning" should become a European Union member, arguing the bloc wouldn't be whole without his country being an integral part of the EU.
"A Ukraine that is winning is going to be member of the European Union," Zelenskyy said to applause, building his address around the common destiny that Ukraine and the 27-nation bloc face in confronting Russia head-on. Metsola also told him that "we have your back. We were with you then, we are with you now, we will be with you for as long as it takes."
Zelenskyy's high-profile pursuit of more Western military aid came as evidence mounted that Russia's anticipated offensive around the anniversary of the invasion is starting to take shape. That same support has come from the EU. The bloc and its member states have already backed Kyiv with about 50 billion euros in aid, provided military hardware and imposed nine packages of sanctions on the Kremlin.
