Zelenskyy pleads for Ukraine to become member of EU

'Prove that you are with us,' Zelenskyy pleads to European Union

With all the fighting and fear his country is facing, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has become a symbol of hope for many Ukrainians as they defend their country from the Russian invasion.

As Russian forces began to close in on the Ukraine capital, Kyiv, over the weekend, Zelenskyy refused to leave his country, declaring he would fight back despite being marked as "target No. 1."

"The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride," a senior American intelligence official recounted Zelenskyy telling U.S. officials on Saturday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed to the European Union to admit his country as a member.
