Speaking on Monday evening via video, Zelensky emphasized that EU membership for Ukraine is not only in Ukraine's interest, but that it is an essential step for the "entire European project".
This step, he said, "will decide if Europe has a future or not."
The European Commission is due to present its position on Ukrainian membership in June.
Earlier statements from the EU have been sceptical about Ukrainian membership, however, Ursula Von der Leyen spoke a week ago of a "moral duty" to support Ukraine's membership.
