The leaders of the European Union at the summit in Brussels approved the decision to grant Ukraine and Moldova the status of a candidate for membership. "Agreement. The European Council has just decided to grant EU candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova. A historic moment. Today is a decisive step on your path to the EU. Congratulations to Volodymyr Zelensky and Maia Sanda and the peoples of Ukraine and Moldova. Our future is together," he wrote in Twitter President of the European Council Charles Michel. Exactly four months after the start of the full-scale war that Russia unleashed on February 24, Ukraine received the status of a candidate for EU membership.

All without exception the leaders of the 27 EU countries voted for this at the summit in Brussels.

June 23, 2022 will definitely go down in history. Just like on June 17, 2017, when three years after the Revolution of Dignity, where Ukrainians died under European flags, we received visa-free travel. And they continue to die on the battlefield in a bloody war with Russia for their civilizational choice and the right to be part of the European family.

Almost a record number of deputies voted "for" - 529, 45 were against, 14 did not vote.
