Ukraine is a candidate country for EU membership,

In what is being described as a historic moment, the leaders of the 27 EU countries agreed to give the long-suffering Ukraine, which has been resisting Russian invaders for months, the status of candidate country, thus giving the green light to this prospect.

The request was formally submitted by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

"White smoke" came out of Brussels to start accession negotiations for Moldova to the European Union as well.

European Council President Charles Michel, via a post, spoke of a historic moment, stressing.[/I]
