Looks like there's at least one gopnik on the Ukr negotiating team.
Here’s what Zelensky said in his video.....
“We appeal to the European Union for the immediate accession of Ukraine ‘via a new special procedure,”......“Our goal is to be together with all Europeans and, most importantly, to be on an equal footing. I’m sure it’s fair. I’m sure it’s possible,” he added.
Sounds like Zelensky’s demanding the EU set another place setting at their table for their dinner. ......Using words like...’Fair”...’Equal footing”....and “Special treatment”....this early isn’t exactly understanding all the nations who have waited years in line and fairness to them.
