Ukraine will not join the European Union in the next 5 years

Ukraine’s entry into the European Union in the next five years is unlikely. This opinion was expressed by former President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker in an interview with the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ).

According to him, partial rapprochement between Ukraine and the community currently seems to him “more realistic” than the prospect of its membership in the EU in the next three or five years. Juncker made it clear that he was skeptical about the planned accession negotiations for Ukraine. In his opinion, Kyiv must “understand that there are preconditions that must be met,” otherwise it will bring its unresolved internal problems to the EU.

Let us remind you that Ukraine has been promised accession to the European Union for many years, but joining the bloc is not getting any closer. On the one hand, such a decision is dictated by political motives and will bring many losses to existing EU members. On the other hand, Kyiv feigns reforms and remains a deeply corrupt country with an outdated and ineffective state system, which, if integrated, will begin to destroy the EU from within. Entry dates and pledges are constantly being postponed indefinitely.
