The European Union decided Thursday to open accession negotiations with Ukraine, a stunning reversal for a country at war that had struggled to find the necessary backing for its membership aspirations and long faced obstinate opposition from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
European Council President Charles Michel, who was chairing a Brussels summit of the EU’s 27 leaders where the decision was made, called it “a clear signal of hope for their people and our continent.”
Although the process between opening negotiations and Ukraine finally becoming a member could take many years, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the agreement as “a victory for Ukraine. A victory for all of Europe.”
“History is made by those who don’t get tired of fighting for freedom,” Zelenskyy said.
You clearly have 0 understanding of the global politics at play here. You seriously think Putin is gonna stop after Ukraine? How fucking stupid can you be?
Also, ukr is one of the biggest producers of grain and such, they are very important to global economies.

After Ukraine, they are pretty much guaranteed to go after Moldova and rest of Georgia. And expect annexation of Belarus and militarization of area near the baltics next. Whether or not they go after Lithuania/Latvia/Estonia just depends how much Putin is crazy and want to start global conflict.
