EU leaders will support Ukraine’s accession to the EU, but will not offer candidate status
The participants of the summit in Versailles will support Ukraine’s accession to the European Union (EU), but the admission of the country under the accelerated procedure is unlikely. This possible decision on Ukraine’s EU membership revealed Reuters.
It is noted that the leaders of the European Union, most likely, will not offer Ukraine the status of a candidate for EU membership. “Leaders are unlikely to offer Ukraine candidate status, it is more likely that there will be more cooperation within the framework of an association agreement,” one EU official told the agency.
