Leaders of four EU countries have decided to grant Ukraine candidate status without additional conditions, but then they will impose conditions for reforms at all stages.
The French president shared that with European Pravda and a group of Ukrainian journalists during his visit to Kyiv.
Emmanuel Macron explained that a visit to Ukraine of the leaders of the three largest economies of the EU - Germany, Italy, and France, as well as the President of Romania - was aimed at forming unanimity in the European Union on Ukraine's first step towards accession.
"You know there was some disagreement in granting Ukraine candidacy in Europe. So I decided that it was best to come now, uniting the countries that support Ukraine's candidacy. So that later, in 8 days, we make efforts to gain unanimity in the EU and approve candidate status," he said.
