United on Ukraine, EU tackles the devil in details at summit
VERSAILLES, France (AP) European Union leaders on Thursday focused on how to help Ukraine in its war with Russia, but the measures discussed are expected to stop short of fulfilling the countrys hopes it can soon join the bloc.
EU nations have been fully united in backing Ukraines resistance with unprecedented economic sanctions, but divisions have started to surface on how fast Brussels could move in integrating Ukraine, and how swiftly the 27-nation bloc could sever energy ties with Moscow.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants his country to quickly become an EU member, but an agreement on that point wont be achieved this week, despite more prodding from Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.
This step would provide an enormous injection of hope to the Ukrainian people. In these dark times, we need this hope more than ever, Kubela wrote in an opinion article in the Financial Times. Leaders of the EU, it is your turn to make history.
