President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a visit by Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, that the future of the European Union depends on whether the bloc grants Ukraine a candidate status. Polls show that a majority of EU member states' population consider Ukraine a part of the European family, he added. "We are very much looking forward to the political recognition of this reality on June 23-24," Zelensky said.
