The president of the European Union announced the body’s decision Friday to accept Ukraine as a candidate in its bid to join the 27-member bloc, paving the way for the multi-year process to begin in earnest.
“Ukrainians are ready to die for the European perspective,” EU President Ursula von der Leyen said at a Brussels press conference. “We want them to live with us the European dream.”
She made the announcement clad in the Ukrainian colors — a yellow blazer over a blue blouse.
“It’s the first step on the EU membership path that’ll certainly bring our victory closer,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted in response to the news Friday morning.
The formal endorsement from the EU head comes a day after leaders of the bloc’s three most powerful economies — France, Italy and Germany — made a visit to war-torn Kyiv.

The Eu can’t defend a country that is little more than a collection of organized crime families. The CIA and Russia have been at war in the Ukraine for over a decade. They have ruined the country. And the government that is left is hardly worth saving.
While the U.S. gets more broke financing the war.
As BRICS forms into a more solid economic and business alliance, including an exchange medium outside the control of the EU Commission, it seems assured that the "green" dreams of EU politics will learn how to live without Russian energy excepting as shipped through ever-more profitable third parties, be them corporations or nations not under the poilitical control of von der Leyen and the Commission. Not everything is a matter of politics, in a world of Realpolitik..
The coming winter might be cold and much more expensive in EU Europe.
Well, that chart from Dr. Gurdgiev (Middlebury Institute of International Studies, Monterrey, and Trinity College Dublin) is an inconvenient visualization of the relative PPPs. Suggests something Mrs. von der Leyen and Mr. Biden haven’t grasped....
Ukraine is welcome into the Trans-sexual/Trans-humanist/Satanist bloc.
Take into account that Mexico, Indonesia and Turkey are planning entry by the end of the year.
It comes down to a friction between the globalists and the localists, as some have called us, though trying to say "nationalist" and other names is meant to dissuade.
A look at the excellent work of Elinor Ostrom suggests that the "problem of the commons" is best handled at a more local rather than a more distant governance. Ergo localists can only face off against the globalists. And win in the end. A multi-polar world is the far better alternative for freedom, while the uni-polar dream is merely the old urge for conquest and subjugation.
But then Biden quipped on a late night show that Republicans should be jailed. Yuck-yuck.
“A race against time to see who gets destroyed first. Ukraine of the EU.”
LOL, true. Actually, even in a best-case scenario, at this point, the Neocon War in Ukraine will make what’s left of the country a TOTAL BASKET CASE for the EU. Once the war is over, I expect that the EU won’t even be able to find Ukraine on a map.
The EUSSR Dream: Sodomy, Socialism, Satanism. I like the alliteration ;-)
By following the Biden administration, the EU is committing economic seppuku.
Good, let the EU defend them.
