Zelenskyy pushes for Ukraine’s 2027 EU accession as Europe marks four years of war – Europe live

Ursula von der Leyen talks up prospect of 90bn loan but appears cautious on timetable for Ukraine joining bloc

Zelenskyy says we must be just as determined and strong as we were when the invasion began," as the threat hasn't become smaller."

He says Europe can only respond to this war working together with the US, even as he remarks it is not an easy task to maintain transatlantic unity and cooperation in the current conditions."

So there must be no place in the free world for Russian oil, for Russian tankers, Russian banks, Russian sanctions ..., schemes, or for any Russian war criminals. The time has come to fully ban all participants in Russia's aggression from entire Europe."
