Ukraine Moves Closer to Joining European Union
----------------------------------------------

Ukraine has moved a step closer to joining the European Union. Earlier
today, the European Commission recommended Ukraine, as well as Moldova,
be granted candidate status for EU membership. This comes a day after
the presidents of France, Germany, Italy and Romania traveled to Ukraine
to meet with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky. Earlier today,
French President Emmanuel Macron said he would consider traveling to
Moscow to negotiate with Russia's Vladimir Putin if certain conditions
were met. Macron last met with Putin two weeks before the invasion.
