Ukraine is to get a first answer in June about its application to join the European Union, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Twitter on Monday. The EU executive “will aim to deliver its opinion in June,” von der Leyen said after a video call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky applied for entry in light of the Russian invasion of his country. The 27 EU member states tasked the commission with reviewing the application, an important but very early step in the long and complicated entry process.
