Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday (June 19) that he expects Russia to intensify its attacks on his country. This is while Kyiv awaits a European Union’s decision this week on granting Ukraine the status of a candidate country.
The European Commission gave its blessing to the war-torn country on Friday (June 17), taking it a step closer to joining the European Union.
It’s the most dramatic geopolitical shift to result from Russia’s invasion.
Ukraine applied to join the EU just four days after Russian troops poured across its border in February.
