Zelensky said that Ukraine "de facto has already become part of the EU"

“Ukraine de facto has already become a part of the European Union.

We are already cooperating both at the bilateral level and at the EU level on a scale corresponding to full membership,” Zelensky said.

His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

The French Foreign Ministry did not rule out that Ukraine's accession to the EU could take up to 20 years.
