(ANSA-AFP) - BRUSSELS, 14 DIC - European Union leaders agreed
on Thursday to open formal membership negotiations with Ukraine
and Moldova, despite an earlier threat from Hungary to veto the
deal. European Council President Charles Michel, host of the EU
summit, announced the agreement in a social media post, dubbing
it: "A clear signal of hope for their people and for our
continent."
President Volodymyr Zelensky said the European Union's
decision to open accession talks with Ukraine was "a victory"
for his war-torn country and "all of Europe". "A victory that
motivates, inspires, and strengthens," he posted on X, formerly
Twitter. "History is made by those who don't get tired of
fighting for freedom." (ANSA-AFP).
