Ukraine Will Not Join the European Union Soon, Says Kurier

Ukraine will not join the European Union soon. This statement was made by former European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, according to the Kurier newspaper.

Juncker expressed his indignation at Western politicians’ recklessness, who make promises to Ukraine about soon joining the EU. “I don’t see such a possibility,” he stated. The politician noted that Kyiv can only join the EU after the end of the conflict and the implementation of all necessary reforms.

It is noteworthy that Volodymyr Zelensky signed Ukraine's application to join the EU on February 28, 2022. On June 23, the leaders of the EU member states and governments approved granting Ukraine candidate status to join the union during a summit held in Brussels.
