Ukrainians cautiously optimistic after EU agrees to membership talks


Kyiv (Ukraine) (AFP) – Following a long night of talks in Brussels, the European Union has agreed to begin membership negotiations with Kyiv. Despite the decision, made in the face of opposition from Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, not all Ukrainians are filled with optimism. While EU membership talks were agreed, Orban refused to greenlight another 50 billion euros in support to Ukraine over the next four years.
