Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky

Volodymyr Zelensky is a Ukrainian artist, screenwriter, producer and politician. Volodymyr (sometimes) wants to hurry up with the plans for his country's membership in the EU, reported DPA.

Kyiv expects "news" from the EU-Ukraine summit later this week, Zelensky said in his video address last night.

"We expect solutions from our EU partners that correspond to our progress. Progress that we clearly have - and even regardless of full-scale war," he said.

Zelensky stressed that reforms are being worked on in Kyiv, writes BTA.

The war in Ukraine has further strengthened the desire of many Ukrainians for their country to join the EU as soon as possible.

Ukraine received EU candidate status in June last year.

However, future membership is subject to conditions, including a more vigorous fight against corruption, DPA notes.
