against sending fighter jets to Ukraine, saying such a move would have ramifications for the entire world, TASS news agency reported.On the question of joining the EU, Ukrainian officials are pushing for membership talks within months. Scholz seemed to nod to Kyiv's concerns in Paris on Wednesday when he said, "I am taking a clear message to Brussels: Ukraine belongs to the European family.
While some EU member countries want to give Ukraine the morale boost that would come with membership talks, others are much more cautious. They have stressed would-be members need to meet a range of criteria - such as cracking down on corruption - before they can even start negotiations. On the ground in Ukraine, the country's military said Russian attacks remained intense on Wednesday in the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Moscow's forces concentrated on the areas of Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut and Aviivka, the General Staff said on Facebook.

They have made incremental progress in relentless winter battles which both sides describe as some of the bloodiest fighting of the war.
