President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky during an address to politicians and the people of the Netherlands addressed personally to Prime Minister Mark Rutte about Ukraine's membership in the EU.
"You know it very well, friend Mark, that our accession to the European Union depends very, very much on you, on your state," the head of state said.
He also called on the Netherlands to join the project of rebuilding Ukraine after the war: to choose a city, a region that can see care from the Netherlands.
"And so that everyone who in your country still doubts, definitely feel that we Ukrainians can be together with you - in the European Union. I am convinced that this will strengthen our common European home. And it will make the European project even more perfect. I believe that it will happen very soon. Because it is absolutely rational. With our potential, with our people, with our ability to defend freedom," he added.
On February 28, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine is applying to the European Union for the immediate accession of Ukraine under a new special procedure. The next day it became known that the application is already under consideration.
At the beginning of the month, the media reported that the Netherlands was resisting Ukraine's accession to the EU in every possible way.
