Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expects the EU to grant his country candidate status in the coming weeks. "This will not only be a decision for Ukraine, but for the entire European project," Zelenskyy said in his daily video message. That will also decide whether the EU has a future or not.
The Minister for Regional Development, Oleksiy Tschernyschow, is to hold talks in Berlin on Tuesday and Wednesday. Among others, he wants to meet Chancellor Wolfgang Schmidt (SPD), Development Minister Svenja Schulze (SPD) and Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir (Greens). "The European Union should embrace Ukraine," Chernyshev demanded. But he also emphasized that his country did not want to be given preferential treatment. "We do not expect accession through the back door, nor do we expect a fast track for Ukraine." As the economically strongest and most populous country in the EU, Germany plays a "decisive role" in the accession issue.

"Ukrainian helicopters struck against accumulations of enemy troops in the Kherson region - and planes against ammunition depots in the Mykolayiv region," the General Staff said.
