European Union Makes Ukraine A Candidate For EU Membership

 The European Union leaders have made Ukraine a candidate for EU membership. This development could bind the country more closely to the West. 

On Thursday, the EU decided to put Ukraine on a path toward EU membership to pull the war-torn country further away from Russia’s influence. However, gaining membership could take years or even decades. The EU also granted candidate status to Moldova, a tiny country that borders Ukraine.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said it was a “good day for Europe.”

How can Ukraine gain EU membership?

Ukraine will have to curb government corruption and adopt other reforms to gain EU membership. Countries must meet a detailed host of economic and political conditions to gain membership.
