The European Union’s recommendation that Kyiv become a candidate for membership in the group gave the Ukrainian capital a significant boost on Friday as war rages in the country’s east, portending a significant geopolitical shift in the wake of Russia’s incursion.

The suggestions made by the EU executive for Ukraine and the neighbouring Moldova are anticipated to be endorsed by EU leaders at a summit the following week.

The bravery of Ukrainians, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has given Europe the chance to “build a new history of freedom and ultimately remove the grey area in Eastern Europe between the EU and Russia.”

While negotiations with Brussels moved forward, Russia sought to consolidate and extend recent advances in the eastern Donbas region, where fierce combat continued, while British Prime Minister Boris Johnson paid an unexpected visit to Kyiv.

You can only envisage truly tremendous European strength, European freedom, and European progress with Ukraine, Zelenskiy said in a nightly televised speech, adding that the decision of EU member states is still up in the air.

Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, made the announcement while donning clothing that symbolised Ukraine, including a yellow blazer over a blue shirt.

She said, “Ukrainians are willing to die for the European worldview.” “We want them to share the European dream with us.” In a speech in St. Petersburg, Russian President Vladimir Putin berated the West, particularly the United States, while downplaying the EU crisis.
