Newsweek: European Parliament Accepts Ukraine's Application to Join EU, Work Remains 

The European Parliament, one of the European Union's legislative branches, voted Tuesday in favor of making Ukraine a member of the union. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky filed an application to join the EU just the day before, asking for fast-track admittance due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which entered its sixth day on Tuesday.
