European Council President Charles Michel announced that EU leaders had decided to open accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova, accepting the European Commission's recommendation, and granted Georgia candidate status. The Commission had published its Ukraine report on 8 November. Hungary had opposed the step, which needed unanimity; Prime Minister Viktor Orban said he saw no reason for negotiations but did not oppose Ukraine joining. The negotiating framework was left to be approved in 2024 if Ukraine met the Commission's remaining criteria.
