Zelensky says he has officially applied to make Ukraine a member of the European Union
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday said he officially applied to have Ukraine join the European Union as his country remains under attack by Russian forces.
"Today I signed the application for Ukraine's membership in the European Union. I'm sure it's feasible," Zelensky said in a post on his social-media platforms alongside photos of him signing the documents.
The Ukrainian president said he has officially applied to have Ukraine join the European Union.
"I'm sure it's feasible," Zelensky said in a post on social media amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has previously said the EU wants Ukraine to join.
Earlier Monday (2/28), Zelensky urged the European Union to grant his country "immediate" membership into the 27-nation bloc amid the Russian invasion.
"We appeal to the European Union for Ukraine's immediate accession under a new special procedure," Zelensky said in a video address, according to a translation from The New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/28/world/europe/ukraine-european-union-zelensky.html).
The Ukrainian president continued, "We are grateful to our partners for supporting us, but our goal is to stand alongside all Europeans, and most importantly, stand on their level."
"I am confident that this is fair," he said. "I am confident that we deserve this. I am confident that all this is possible."
A spokesperson for the European Commission told Insider on Monday, "Applications are sent to the council, and the decision must be taken by unanimity by EU member states." The spokesperson did not confirm that the governing body received Zelensky's application.
Over the weekend, Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, said the European Union wants Ukraine as a member (https://www.businessinsider.com/european-commission-president-says-eu-wants-ukraine-to-join-2022-2).
"Indeed over time, they belong to us. They are one of us and we want them in," von der Leyen told Euronews.
The outlet reported that von der Leyen did not specify whether the process for Ukraine to join would be as quick as Zelensky has hoped.
