I\u2019m sure it\u2019s fair. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zelensky has previously made calls to join the European bloc since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of his country last week. On Sunday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed support for Ukraine\u2019s addition to the EU under a simplified, expedited process. It is not clear how that process would work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a process with Ukraine that is, for example, integrating the Ukrainian market into the single market,\u201d von der Leyen told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2022\/02\/27\/ukraine-is-one-of-us-and-we-want-them-in-eu-ursula-von-der-leyen-tells-euronews\">Euronews<\/a>. \u201cWe have very close cooperation on the energy grid, for example. So many topics where we work very closely together and indeed over time, they belong to us. They are one of us and we want them in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The EU commission chief added that the bloc\u2019s trust in Russian President Vladimir Putin is \u201ccompletely broken and eroded.\u201d She appeared to express doubt in the outcome of peace talks between Ukraine and Russia that began on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, it is important that the Ukrainian side agrees to the peace talks and that conditions are fine for the Ukrainian side. In general, it is always better to have peace talks than to have a fight. But the trust in President Putin is completely broken and eroded,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>After von der Leyen\u2019s statement, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal tweeted that the time had come to \u201cput this down on paper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUkrainians have long proved that we are all an integral part of the European community. It\u2019s time to put this down on paper. Ukraine applies for admission to EU under a special procedure. We are grateful to our partners for their support and quick decisions,\u201d Shmyhal said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"uk\" dir=\"ltr\">\u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0446\u0456 \u0434\u0430\u0432\u043d\u043e \u0434\u043e\u0432\u0435\u043b\u0438, \u0449\u043e \u0432\u0441\u0456 \u043c\u0438 \u2013 \u043d\u0435\u0432\u0456\u0434&#8217;\u0454\u043c\u043d\u0430 \u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043d\u0430 \u0454\u0432\u0440\u043e\u043f\u0435\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0457 \u0441\u043f\u0456\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e\u0442\u0438. \u041f\u0440\u0438\u0439\u0448\u043e\u0432 \u0447\u0430\u0441 \u0437\u0430\u043a\u0440\u0456\u043f\u0438\u0442\u0438 \u0446\u0435 \u043d\u0430 \u043f\u0430\u043f\u0435\u0440\u0456. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D0%A3%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%97%D0%BD%D0%B0?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0430<\/a> \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0430\u0454 \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u043a\u0443 \u043d\u0430 \u0432\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043f \u0434\u043e <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D0%84%D0%A1?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u0404\u0421<\/a> \u0437\u0430 \u0441\u043f\u0435\u0446\u0456\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e\u044e \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0446\u0435\u0434\u0443\u0440\u043e\u044e. \u0412\u0434\u044f\u0447\u043d\u0456 \u043f\u0430\u0440\u0442\u043d\u0435\u0440\u0430\u043c \u0437\u0430 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u043a\u0443 \u0456 \u0448\u0432\u0438\u0434\u043a\u0456 \u0440\u0456\u0448\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Denys Shmyhal (@Denys_Shmyhal) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Denys_Shmyhal\/status\/1498224881670008832?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 28, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Zelensky formally signed an application to join the bloc on Monday.
