EU representatives will make every effort to ensure that Ukraine obtains membership under a simplified procedure, said French President Emmanuel Macron, during a briefing on June 23.
He added that the priority for the moment is to stabilize the geopolitical situation.
"We must act a few steps ahead,” Macron said.
“We wouldn't have acted in this way under any other conditions. We understand that there is a certain war exhaustion now, therefore we cannot allow this to continue. We must strive for stabilization within the current circumstances.”
