According to him, it is currently impossible to name the exact date of accession. Timmermans also added that some countries are concerned about the rapid adoption of a country at war.
It is noted that this Friday the European Commission must decide whether to grant Ukraine EU candidate status.
On June 11, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that the European Commission would complete work on recommendations for granting Ukraine EU candidate status by the end of next week, by June 26.
The European Union’s response to Ukraine’s application for membership will show whether the European project has a future at all. “Now, of course, is a crucial time not only for Ukraine, but also for the European Union and the entire European continent. It is now being determined what the future of a united Europe will be and whether it will be the future at all,” said President Volodymyr Zelensky.
