EU

Nearly 875,000 people have been forced to leave Ukraine since the beginning of Russia's war of aggression in the country.

Ukraine appears to be in ‘a new reality’ about the prospect of joining the European Union, though there is still some scepticism about the process.

Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Przydach said that Ukraine could receive the status of a candidate for EU membership "tomorrow, the day after tomorrow", if a political decision is made.

The Ukrainian president's office said that yesterday's European Parliament decision on Ukraine lacked the bold political signposts that all EU institutions and member states should take into account when granting Ukraine the status of a candidate for membership.

The level of support for Ukraine joining the EU and NATO is the highest ever in polling history in Ukraine. 86% support Ukraine joining the EU, and 76% support joining NATO.
