According to the ambassador, until there is a consensus among the EU member states, it is difficult to talk about the timing of Ukraine’s European integration.
“These 27 countries have very different views on Ukraine, and some of them do not yet see the grounds for the enlargement of the European Union… But that’s not all – those countries that are not against expansion, want to see new EU members such states that are already ready to join… Nobody wants to get new problems, “he explained.
As noted by Poikans, reforms play an important role. If Ukraine makes some progress in reforms, then it will be possible to raise the question of EU membership.
“Then Ukraine will have every reason to say that you want something more than just an Association Agreement with the European Union. What is very important now? It is important that summits between Ukraine and the European Union are taking place, these are dialogue platforms,” he added diplomat.
