On 28 February 2022, four days after it was invaded by Russia, Ukraine applied for membership of the European Union (EU). Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy requested immediate admission under a "new special procedure",^[2] and the presidents of eight EU states called for an accelerated accession process.^[3] European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen stated that she supports Ukrainian accession, but that the process would take time.^[2] On 10 March 2022, the Council of the European Union asked the commission for its opinion on the application.^[4] On 8 April 2022, von der Leyen presented Zelenskyy with a legislative questionnaire,^[5] which Ukraine responded to on 9 May.^[6]

On 17 June 2022, the European Commission recommended that the European Council grant Ukraine candidate status for accession to the EU.^[7]^[8] On 23 June 2022, the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling for the immediate granting of candidate status for EU membership to Ukraine.^[9]^[10] On the same day, the European Council granted Ukraine the status of a candidate for accession to the EU.^[11]

On 14 December 2023, the European Council decided to open accession negotiations with Ukraine.^[12] It is one of nine current EU candidate countries, together with Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Turkey.
