Ukraine's Zelensky Says Proposal of Associate EU Membership 'Unfair'
- German Chancellor Friedrich Merz suggested allowing Ukraine to participate in European Union meetings without a vote as an interim step to facilitate a deal ending the four-year-old war.
- In a letter sent Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected the proposal, calling 'associate' membership 'unfair' because it would leave Kyiv without a voice inside the bloc.
- 'We are defending Europe fully, not partially,' Zelensky said, arguing Ukraine deserves equal rights as a bulwark against Russian aggression for the 27-nation bloc.
- The removal of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban following April elections creates an opportunity for substantive progress in accession talks, as Orban opposed Ukraine's European Union membership.
- Zelensky addressed his message to European Council President Antonio Costa, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, who holds the rotating European Union Council chair.
