Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he has officially applied to have Ukraine join the European Union. "I'm sure it's feasible," Zelensky said in a post on social media amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen previously said the European Union wants Ukraine as a member. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday said he officially applied to have Ukraine join the European Union as his country remains under attack by Russian forces.

"Today I signed the application for Ukraine's membership in the European Union. I'm sure it's feasible," Zelensky said in a post on his social media platforms alongside photos of him signing the documents.

Good. Let the EU take over for NATO.

Time for the USA to let the Euros take care of themselves.

In a very narrow sense. I think Putin was more worried about them joining NATO.

Ukraine certainly has the right to join the EU without being destroyed.

Although it's a poor choice, not because of Putin, but because the EU will steal their sovereignty.

I think this guy has gotten bad advice.

Russia has repeatedly made it clear NATO cannot be on it’s border.

It seems that if NATO - EU wanted war with Russia they wouldn’t be doing anything differently than they are to provoke it...

Bullies should be kicked in the ‘nads, humiliated, and ganged up upon.

Show me someone who won’t come to the aid of a person being picked on by a bully and I’ll show you someone unfit to live.

That’s not a good choice, but his clown, his circus.

I think maybe he should concentrate more on the invader for the moment.

Putin did not want Ukraine to join NATO, though after joining the EU, NATO would be next.

Anyhow, what a free country does is none of Putin's business, even if the country borders on Russia. Russia has never been in danger from NATO countries, and using NATO was only an excuse to invade Ukraine and a start towards reconstituting Putin's original USSR..
