Ukraine must not be left in EU bid ‘grey zone’: Zelensky

KYIV, 11 June 2022, (TON): Ukraine’s president appealed for his country not to be left in a grey zone with its EU membership bid, ahead of a summit set to decide on its candidacy.

Volodymyr Zelensky said “the first thing is to finally remove this grey zone, addressing the 2022 Copenhagen Democracy Summit by video-link.”

He added “in the coming weeks, the European Union could take a historic step that will prove that the words on the membership of the Ukrainian people in the European family are not in vain.”

The European Commission is expected to give its opinion on the issue in the coming days, before EU leaders decide whether to grant Ukraine official candidate status at a European Council summit on June 23-24.
