German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called on EU leaders to discuss a new additional membership status for Ukraine and other candidate countries to maintain momentum until they're full members of the bloc, in a letter seen by the Kyiv Independent dated May 18.
Ukraine has been a candidate country since 2022, but further progress on EU accession has been blocked for almost a year.
The letter notes that "the enlargement process takes much too long" and that "understandably, this creates frustration."
