Zelenskyy affirmed that this movement towards the EU is taking place at a very tragic time when many Ukrainians who profess European values lose their lives.
"We believe that we will gain support and become a candidate for accession. Then the next, the final stage will begin," the President asserted.
"We strongly believe that this procedure will take place in the coming weeks and that it will be positive for the history of our people, given the price they have paid on the path towards independence and democracy."
On his part, the Head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine noted that he also feels part of the team working to acquire the status of a candidate country for EU accession.
Maasikas also stated that this process is taking place in a very difficult situation for Ukraine, but everyone feels the importance and significance of this moment.
