BRUSSELS, 18 April 2022, (TON): Ihor Zhovkva, deputy head of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office, said “Ukraine has completed a questionnaire which will form a starting point for the European Union to decide on membership for Kyiv.”
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen handed the questionnaire to Zelensky during her visit to Kyiv on April 8th, pledging a speedier start to Ukraine’s bid to become a member of the EU following Russia’s invasion of the country.
Zhovkva told the Ukrainian public broadcaster “today, I can say that the document has been completed by the Ukrainian side.”
He added “the European Commission will need to issue a recommendation on Ukraine’s compliance with the necessary membership criteria.”
“We expect the recommendation, to be positive, and then the ball will be on the side of the EU member states.”
