Geographically yes, but politically and culturally the line gets a little blurry. I think parent meant to say "I am from the European Union".

Politically and culturally, it's in Europe. Greek Orthodoxy and Greek-derived scripts are something you find in Europe since the Middle Ages.

Politically and culturally Ukraine is in Europe. I'm polish, visited Ukraine several times, love the people (we're very similar nations) and I think that it has a great potential. I hope it joins EU some day in the future.

Not really. I don't know of anyone who identifies by EU citizenship. Not even EU top level politicians. We're all nationals, and even 3rd world refugees becomes citizen of a nation rather than EU.
When speaking to people from US, I usually identify by from [country] or "from Europe". The latter seem to be enough for most mericans that think of EU countries as US states.
