The President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen stated that they want to prepare a conclusion on Ukraine's membership in the EU in the summer of 2022.

This was reported by Reuters.

Then the Ukrainian application for admission will be submitted to the European Council.

"It usually takes years before the EU Council accepts an application for membership, but Ukraine has done so in a week or two, and I urge you to move forward as soon as possible… Our goal is to present Ukraine's application to the Council this summer," von der Leyen said.

To recap, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, EU High Representative Josep Borrell, and Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger visited Bucha today, liberated from the russian occupiers.
