Proposal to make Ukraine associate member of EU unfair: Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a letter to the European Union (EU) said German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's proposal to make Ukraine an associate member is "unfair", Reuters reported. "It would be unfair for Ukraine to be present...but remain voiceless," Zelenskyy added. Ukraine would be allowed to attend EU meetings as an associate member but would not be allowed to vote.
