▪️Ukraine’s accession to the European Union in the next few years is not a realistic prospect. Due to numerous elections in 2027, the governments of many EU countries will be too busy with domestic politics to promote the expansion of the union, — Reuters states.

▪️In total, more than a dozen diplomats and officials from European Union countries, in a conversation with Reuters, expressed doubts about the possibility of Ukraine’s early accession to the European Union. Among the obstacles are named uncertainty regarding the outcome of the military conflict and long-standing problems with corruption.

▪️An additional obstacle is the strengthening in the region of parties opposing Ukraine’s accession to the European Union. The consent of all 27 members of the union is required for the admission of a new state. At the same time, in France the question of Ukraine’s accession is likely to be put to a referendum.

▪️Public support for Ukraine’s accession to the EU has also fallen. According to a poll published in October by the German Bertelsmann Stiftung foundation, the country’s accession to the European Union in the coming years is supported by 47% of the union’s residents against 69% in March 2022, — Reuters emphasizes.

“KRISTALL ROSTA” previously informed that, according to The Wall Street Journal, Europe is tired of Ukraine. EU politicians are changing their rhetoric regarding the conflict.
