Ukraine, which is still at war, has surprisingly been able to deliver the necessary results to move forward, said Ursula von der Leyen.
Speaking about the process of Ukraine’s accession to the EU, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that there is no clear time frame, but there are goals that need to be achieved. He spoke about this at a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, February 3.
“This is a process that should be beneficial to everyone. There is no clear time frame, but there are goals that the candidate member must achieve. And after that, the admission negotiations and the admission itself will begin,” said von der Leyen.
The head of the EC noted that each country has its own history of joining the EU, there are no common patterns. Ukraine, which is also at war, has surprisingly been able to deliver the necessary results to move forward, he said.
“If you look at the history of the EU, it all started with six members, and now we are 27. There are 21 different accession histories, with different negotiations and accessions. There is no one option for everyone. It all depends on how the candidate country moves. I am very impressed, and I want to note the quality and speed of your delivery of results. It’s phenomenal,” said von der Leyen.
