Ankara: Ukraine has invited EU foreign ministers to visit the country on May 9, the day Russia is commemorating the Soviet Union's 1945 victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, as a symbol of unity with the Ukrainian people. "This is an invitation for EU foreign ministers. They have received this invitation. We know that the feedback is positive," a Ukrainian official stated.

According to Anadolu Agency, the invitation serves as an effort to demonstrate unity against Russian aggression. Ukraine, since the 2022 Russian war, has sought to distance itself from Moscow and foster closer ties with the West. The Ukrainian government views this visit as a significant opportunity to show solidarity and support from EU nations amidst ongoing tensions with Russia.
