Members of the European Union (EU) agreed on Thursday to open accession talks for Ukraine, signaling a positive step for Kyiv.
European leaders voted in agreement on Thursday to open negotiations for Ukraine to join the EU membership, European Council President Charles Michel announced on Thursday. The council also agreed to open similar negotiations for Moldova and granted candidacy status to Georgia.
“A clear signal of hope for their people and for our continent,” Michael said on Thursday. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who opposes allowing Ukraine into the EU, left the council chambers when the subject was brought up and was not present when voting began, allowing for a unanimous decision from the other European leaders present, according to Politico Europe.
