President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has said that the status of a candidate is not a step, but a peak, not a new paragraph, not a new page, not a new section, but a new volume in the history and European integration of Ukraine.
"And from today, this book has no other options for completion, except for one: Ukraine will become a member of the EU in the future. From now on, this is fixed at the official level," he said in a video message, the press service of the President's Office reports.
He called obtaining the status of an EU candidate a "point of no return."
"Today it has been recognized that Ukraine is not a bridge , not a cushion between the West and Russia, not a buffer between Europe and Asia, not a sphere of influence , not a ‘gray’ zone, not a transit territory . Not the borderland between orcs and elves. Ukraine is a future equal partner for at least 27 EU countries," he said.
