In a strong show of solidarity against Russia's invasion, European Union (EU) leaders conferred candidate status on Ukraine and Moldova, acting with unusual speed and unity to lift the besieged country farther away from Russia's influence and connect it more closely to the West. Leaders of the EU's 27 member states met in Brussels on Thursday and unanimously agreed to bestow the candidate status.
