European Union leaders have formally granted Ukraine candidate status to become a member of the bloc during their two-day summit in Brussels, according to President of the European Council, Charles Michel

Diplomats have described the recommendation as historic, given the deep divisions in recent months over Ukraine's readiness to become a candidate for membership."Agreement. #EUCO has just decided EU candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova. A historic moment", Mr Michel said in a tweet referring to the European Council of EU leaders .

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told a press conference in Brussels that Ukraine had"already implemented roughly 70% of rules, norms and standards. "We are preparing for the historic decision of the European Council. There are only a few hours remaining before it," he said in his daily address.It is 50 years since Ireland joined the EU, our single most transformative event in modern history.

"I always could not comprehend how we could ever refuse accession to other member states because we know that membership itself can be transformative and can spur on economic development," Mr Martin said. Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama today hailed Ukraine potentially joining his country as a candidate for EU membership but warned against any unreasonable hopes for a speedy process.

The 705-member European Parliament made the move already in early June and the European Commission, the bloc's executive arm, as well as the Council, which represents member states, have followed suit.
