Скачать или смотреть UKRAINE EUOpinion on Ukraine's EU candidate status could be delivered next week: von der Leyen

European Commission President
Ursula von der Leyen
returned to Kyiv on Saturday
for a meeting with Zelenskiy
to discuss the
country’s progress towards EU membership
which would be ready
by the end of the next week.

Von der Leyen,
in her second trip to Kyiv
since the start of the conflict in February.

On Feb. 28, Zelensky signed
an official appeal to the EU
asking for the
accession of Ukraine
via a new special procedure.

Von der Leyen gave the
EU membership questionnaire
to Zelensky during her visit to Kyiv in April.

The first part of the document
was submitted to the EU on April 18,
while the second was
delivered on May 9.

All 27 EU governments
would have to agree
to grant Ukraine candidate status,
after which there would be
extensive talks
on the reforms required
before Kyiv could be
considered for membership.

However, observers say
even with candidate status,
it may take years,
if not decades,
for Ukraine to
obtain EU membership.
