Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called today for his country to be given a “reserved” place in the EU (European Union), even though membership negotiations are taking a long time.
“We often hear that Ukraine belongs to the European family, and it is important to dedicate this place to the country within the EU,” he told German state television ARD.
“We are not talking about Ukraine joining the EU as soon as possible, but it is important that they reserve this place for us,” Kuleba said.
Kyiv submitted its candidacy for EU membership on February 28, just days after the Russian invasion, but some countries are voicing their skepticism.
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday it would take “decades” for a country like Ukraine to join the EU, but suggested that Kiev become part of a “European political community” that can count on even the UK leaving the EU. in the EU 2020. The idea was supported by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
