Volodymyr Zelenskyy has hailed the decision by the European Union for Ukraine to begin accession talks to become a member of the bloc.

Charles Michel, president of the European Council, announced the move on X (formerly Twitter).

Responding on the same platform, the Ukrainian president said: “This is a victory for Ukraine. A victory for all of Europe. A victory that motivates, inspires, and strengthens.”

The move was announced just hours after Vladimir Putin declared the Russia-Ukraine war will continue until his country “achieve our objectives”.
