The European Union has agreed to start membership negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova, a significant step for the nations in moving closer to the West and reducing Russia's influence. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described this development as a dream come true for his citizens after over two years of conflict with Russia. The talks aim to align Ukraine and Moldova's laws and standards with those of the EU, although the actual negotiations may not commence for several months. The process involves bringing laws into line with the EU in various policy areas, with unanimous agreement required from all 27 member countries. Both Ukraine and Moldova face a long road ahead in meeting the EU accession criteria, but this achievement marks a significant milestone for their European aspirations.
