In Russia, they refuse to believe in Ukraine’s European view, but they believe it needs their increased attention.
In Russia, they reacted negatively to the European Commission’s decision to grant Ukraine the status of an EU member candidate. Statements by Russian officials led to RosSMI.
Thus, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that this issue needs increased attention of the Russian Federation.
“It still remains a different plane, although it needs our increased attention. We all know about the intensification in Europe, discussions on strengthening the EU’s defense side. Therefore, there are various changes we are seeing. , ”Peskov said.
Meanwhile, Vyacheslav Nikonov, deputy head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, refused to believe in the reality of the prospects for Ukraine’s European integration.
“This is just a recommendation of the European Commission. There is no necessary consent for a decision – at least the Dutch and Danes are against it. And even if they give the status, then Turkey is a candidate since 1999. Ukraine is there will be a wait longer. It will not live that long, “Nikonov said.
Recall that today the European Commission has officially announced that they have approved Ukraine’s application and recommended that the country be granted the status of a candidate for EU membership in the subsequent implementation of the necessary measures.
Earlier it was reported that the Netherlands is asking the European Commission to carefully prescribe conditions for Ukraine’s further approach to EU membership.
