KYIV (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and European Council chief Charles Michel warned on Tuesday that a European Union meeting next month to decide whether to begin formal accession talks for Kyiv would be difficult.
Michel, who visited Kyiv on a surprise trip, told a joint news conference with Zelenskiy and Moldovan President Maia Sandu who hopes accession talks for Moldova will also be approved, that he would work to overcome those challenges.
