European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said he was confident that Ukraine would reach a “positive” decision on whether Ukraine could gain accession status as a candidate for EU membership.

Commissioner von der Leyen appeared on ARD broadcast in Germany on the 19th local time and said, “Of course, this is a historic decision that the EU summit will have to make, but the preparations are well made, and I am confident.”

The European Commission, the European Commission, proposed on the 17th that Ukraine and Moldova should be given the status of candidates for EU membership.

Georgia, reviewed together, agreed that additional conditions had to be met.

If the Executive Committee gives a positive opinion on granting candidate country status, and the 27 member countries unanimously approve it at the EU summit on the 23rd and 24th, Ukraine and Moldova will be granted candidate country status and enter into full-scale negotiations for official membership. .

Ukraine applied for EU membership on February 28, four days after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“We want more reforms,” said von der Leyenne, head of the executive committee.
