Good news! EU offers Ukraine possible fast-track entry

[herding cats]

The EU has handed President Zelensky a questionnaire which will lead Ukraine a step further in being granted EU candidate status at a conference in Kyiv.

Speaking to the Ukrainian President, European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said the EU will support Ukraine to ensure its completion takes "weeks, not years", as the process has been somewhat accelerated due to the war.

"Russia will descend into economic, financial and technological decay, while Ukraine is marching towards the European future, this is what I see," she said.

Receiving the questionnaire in an envelope, Zelensky assured journalists that it would be ready in a week.
