“I think that the European Union really wants a partnership with Ukraine, really wants Ukraine to be in the EU. Not all EU member states want this, it is true. It seems to me that they are not 100% sure in Ukraine, ”he said in an interview with Euronews.
Zelensky called on the EU to outline clear criteria for Ukraine's entry into the alliance.
“And when the Ukrainians receive this answer, they will say how long it will take, whether they can do it and when. We need a clear understanding that we all want this now, ”added the Ukrainian leader.
At the same time, he noted that Ukraine "should become a country that Europe really would like to have in its composition."
In July, the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine for European Integration Olga Stefanishina said that the country's accession to the European Union is "just a matter of time."
