So, a very thorough work needs to be done by the Ukrainians," Maasikas told Euronews.,The ambassador also denied that the massive accession questionnaire, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky handed over to Maasikas after submitting Ukraine's membership application, was mostly filled out by EU officials rather than the Ukrainian government itself.,Zelensky Touts Ukraine's EU Candidate Status as 'Biggest Step Toward Stronger Europe'23 June, 23:02 GMT,Zelensky signed the application for Ukraine's accession to the EU on February 28, a few days after the start of the Russian special operation.
