Between sirens in Kiev, Macron, Scholzi and Draghi: Ukraine candidate country, we want you in the EU

All of us support the immediate grant of candidate status for membership. This status will be accompanied by a guide and will also mean that the situation of the Western Balkans and neighbourhood, particularly Moldova, is taken into account. Europe is close to you, it will remain so as long as it is needed, until victory is achieved, a victory that will see peace return to a free and independent Ukraine”, French President Macron said.

I and my colleagues have come here to Kiev with a clear message: Ukraine belongs to the European family”, German Chancellor Scholz added.

“I want to say that the most important message of our visit is that Italy wants Ukraine to the European Union and wants Ukraine to receive candidate status and will support that position at the future European Council” was the words of Italian Prime Minister Draghi.

Zelensky demanded more new weapons, as he considers the only way to restore freedom throughout Ukraine. He said his country deserves EU accession candidate status and addressed the issue of unblocking exports.

We'll do everything we can to unlock ports, but this should be first of those who blocked them, so the Russian naval fleet” responded Zelensky.

During the meeting with Zelenskin, European leaders have offered supplies with new weapons as well as training of Ukrainian soldiers to use them. While Macron demanded that Kiev win, even regain, Russia's annexed Crime. While in Ukraine, European leaders visited the town of Irpin, where they said Vladimir Putin's army has committed war crimes. /A2 CNN
