The EU opens membership talks with Ukraine and Moldova

European Union (EU) leaders decided on Thursday to open EU membership talks with Ukraine and Moldova, while giving Georgia the status of a candidate country.

The news was announced on Thursday evening by the president of the European Council, Charles Michel, who added that talks with Bosnia and Herzegovina will be opened as soon as the "necessary degree of compliance with the membership criteria" has been met.

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, described this decision, which was taken at a summit in Brussels, as a "triumph" for his country and for Europe itself.

"History was written by those who never tire of fighting for freedom," Zelensky wrote on the X social network.

Hungary has been opposing the start of talks with Kiev for a long time, however, it did not veto this decision.

The Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, said in a reaction on the social network Facebook that his country did not want to "participate in a bad decision".

"Ukraine's membership in the EU is a bad decision".

Ukraine and Moldova applied to join the EU after Russia launched a full invasion of Ukraine in February 2024.

Both enjoyed the status of the candidate country in June of this year./ REL
