Russia Ukraine War News Live Updates: No problem as EU not a military bloc, says Putin amidst news of Ukraine’s candidacy

Direct Russian Ukraine War Crisis: With a war in Eastern Ukraine, Kyiv received a big encouragement when the European Union recommended to become a candidate to join the block, in what would be a dramatic geopolitical change after the Russian invasion.
