EU Overcomes Obstacles to Initiate Membership Talks with Ukraine and Moldova
TL;DR Summary
The European Council has announced that it will open membership talks with Ukraine and Moldova, granting candidate status to Georgia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hailed the decision as a victory, while European leaders celebrated the move as a signal of hope. However, Ukraine still needs to meet the Copenhagen Criteria before moving forward with negotiations, and it could take up to a decade for Ukraine to join the EU. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban remains a significant barrier to Ukraine's accession talks, claiming that Ukraine has not met the necessary conditions.
