EU leaders have ruled out Ukraine's appeal to quickly gain membership of the bloc, as they met in Versailles to address the fallout of Russia's invasion of its pro-Brussels neighbour. The western leaders agreed, however, to deepen relations with Kyiv.
The 27 EU countries acknowledged Russia's invasion of its neighbour on 24 February marked a "tectonic shift in European history" and vowed to boost their military might and "strengthen our bonds and deepen our partnership" with Kyiv.
