The European Union said it would seriously look into Ukraine’s application to become a bloc candidate country, recognising the move’s political weight and dramatic circumstances as well as hesitation from many member states.
The pledge to consider the war-torn Eastern European country’s membership request came at an extraordinary session of the European Parliament on Tuesday (1 March), where Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy made an emotional plea for the EU to “prove that you are with us”.
Ukraine has been under attack from Vladimir Putin’s Russia since Thursday (24 February), in an invasion involving its air force and ground troops and heavy artillery, in the most serious war in Europe since the Balkan wars of the 1990s.
