Ukraine Given Green Light For EU Membership

IMO NATO and the EU should deploy troops to Ukraine ASAP to kick the Russians out ... Ukraine began its long journey out of Russia’s shadow and towards Europe in Kyiv’s historic Maidan square. More than 100 protesters were killed and over 1,000 injured on the barricades of Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) in 2014 as they demanded an end to Moscow’s malign influence. Some 12 years and an invasion later, more than 100,000 people have died fighting for freedom. And now, the EU has given Ukraine the green light to start formal membership negotiations with Volodymyr Zelensky’s government. It is a once-unthinkable step on a long and difficult road of deep reforms and painful scrutiny amid high-stakes diplomacy and an existential war. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/06/24/the-battle-to-bring-europes-biggest-military-into-the-eu/
