Selenskyj and Merz Advocate EU Membership as Key to Peace in Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz propose European Union membership for Ukraine as essential for achieving lasting peace and facilitating post-war reconstruction.
In a recent video address, Selenskyj emphasized the importance of immutable borders and security guarantees for a ‘real peace in Europe.’ Merz echoed this sentiment, highlighting Ukraine’s integration into the EU as a critical foundation for ending the Russian invasion, while not entirely ruling out territorial concessions. The World Bank estimates the financial requirement for Ukraine’s reconstruction at approximately €500 billion.
