The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, said today in Paris after a conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, that he is in favor of starting negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the European Union (EU) by the end of June.

At a joint press conference with Zelensky in the Elysée Palace, Macron promised that "France will continue" to support Ukraine, especially "at the European level, in order to try to achieve an effective start of accession negotiations by the end of the month."

The European Commission has assessed that Ukraine has met all the preconditions for the eventual opening of negotiations for EU accession, France Presse learned today from diplomatic sources in Brussels.

However, the decision requires the unanimity of all EU members, while Hungary, a Russian ally, is threatening to block the process.
