Ukraine Applies For Immediate Membership In EU, Gold Rates Increased
International gold prices are on the verge of gaining at present. Investors all over the world are waiting for new developments regarding the Russia-Ukraine geopolitical uncertainties. Recently, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has applied for immediate membership in the EU, to hold a strong position against Russia. Ukraine's desire to be a part of the EU has always been one of the major reasons behind the Russia-Ukraine turmoil. Since 2014, these two countries are struggling on this matter. Russia did not want any closeness between the EU and Ukraine, fearing it will restrict Russia's control over the European region.
Ukraine demands that 352 civilians, including 14 children, have been killed due to Russia's attacks since last Thursday. However, Russia is now having diplomatic discussions with Ukraine. Traders are waiting for the outcome, as this will draw the roadmap of upcoming trends in the equity and commodity markets, including gold.
