Most EU countries already see Ukraine as part of EU - Zelensky

He said this during a conversation with the university community and public figures of Switzerland, Ukrinform reports, citing the press service of the head of state.

"We have already obtained the status of a candidate - we worked hard on this even during the war... The country chose the path to the European Union. There is no doubt that within two or three years we will receive membership in the European Union. At least we are clearly proceeding - both legislatively and in dialogue with our partners. And most of the EU countries already see us there," the Head of State emphasized.

He also said that Ukraine is on the way to NATO membership and is simultaneously preparing an agreement on security guarantees.

"We have developed a serious document - recommendations for this agreement for a circle of countries - guarantors of security for Ukraine. We really need this agreement. And it is extremely needed on the way to NATO," Zelensky said, adding that it is not clear how long this path will last, but the country needs security on it.

"These two directions, which I mentioned, already indicate that Ukraine will be a European state," he said, adding that thanks to the powerful army and combat experience, Ukraine will also be one of the safest countries.
