Almost all Europarl members agree that Ukraine should become EU member - Metsola

MOSCOW. Jan 20 (Interfax) - The European Parliament thinks "almost unanimously" that Ukraine should become a member of the European Union, Ukrainian media quoted European Parliament (Europarl) President Roberta Metsola as saying.

"The European Parliament thinks almost unanimously, which rarely happens, that Ukraine should become a member of the EU. In June, every prime minister, every president of the country said that Ukraine should become a member of the EU. This shows that it is politically possible to achieve things that seem impossible if done correctly. And here the European Parliament, it seems to me, plays an important role," Metsola said during a discussion as part of the UKRAINE IS YOU project at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday.

On March 1, 2022, when Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky appealed to the European Parliament and said that Ukraine should be admitted to the EU, everyone thought that he was rushing things, Metsola said.

However, the situation has now changed, she added.
