As war rages on- Ukraine bring chance to live the European dream

The war in Ukraine’s east raging on, Kyiv received a major boost when the European Union recommended that it become a candidate to join the bloc, in what would be a dramatic geopolitical shift following Russia’s invasion.

European Union leaders are expected to endorse the EU executive’s recommendations for Ukraine and neighbouring Moldova, announced on Friday, at a summit next week.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted that the bravery of Ukrainians had created the moment for Europe to “create a new history of freedom, and finally remove the grey zone in Eastern Europe between the EU and Russia.”
