Ukraine President Calls for 'Immediate' EU Membership

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling for both a ceasefire and for Ukraine's "immediate" accession to the European Union as his government holds peace talks with a Kremlin delegation in the Russian client state of Belarus.
55% : Zelensky said he was grateful to Ukraine's "partners" in the European Union for their support so far -- initially rather dubious but recently strengthened with an unprecedented plan to finance €500 million (£418,300,000/$561,160,000) in arms shipments -- but said that his countrymen's goal is to "stand alongside all Europeans and, most importantly to stand on their level" as EU citizens.
53% : "We appeal to the European Union for Ukraine's immediate accession under a new special procedure," the comic actor turned wartime leader said at a press conference on Monday.
