Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in his latest video address stressed the need for Ukraine to become a member of the European Union.
Talking about the speech he delivered before the European Parliament, the leader said the event marked a "new stage" in relations between Kiev and Brussels "when Ukraine is no longer a guest or partner from outside the EU ... when Ukraine becomes a full part of the European Union."
In his remarks on Thursday, Zelensky said his country will become a member state, arguing that the status would give Kiev "a way home."
