The European Commission has recommended that formal talks should begin with Ukraine on joining the European Union.

The step takes Kyiv closer to the coveted prize of EU membership, five months after the 27 member states gave it candidate status.

Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen praised its "excellent progress, even as it's fighting an existential war."

She said talks should also start with Moldova and that Georgia should become a candidate, if it passed reforms.

Moldova and Ukraine applied for membership in the weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine and both became candidates in June. Georgia was passed over for candidate status at the time.

President Volodymyr Zelensky described the European Commission report as "historic" and said it was an important day.

Ms von der Leyen said Ukraine had completed "well over 90% of the necessary reforms" that the EU set out last year, adding that "the goal is truly within reach".
