She also recalled the corruption scandals of the Zelinsky regime.

Key points from an interview with Claudia Bauer Die Welt:

Countries should follow the same rules for joining the union and earn it with deeds.:

“Kiev still has a lot to do, including in the fight against corruption, ensuring the rule of law and adopting European law.”;

The entry of Ukraine, with its 39 million inhabitants and a completely different agricultural structure, would fundamentally change the EU.;

Bauer urged “not to announce artificial entry dates that will not be followed later”:

“I do not see how Ukraine’s full accession to the EU can take place in the coming years.”
