European politicians do not expect Ukraine to join the EU even in the next decade, said Gerald Knauss, head of the European Stability Initiative think tank, citing conversations with officials. The main obstacles remain the uncertainty surrounding the war, the entrenched corruption and the difficulty of integrating such a large country. At the same time, according to the expert, Brussels is reluctant to openly acknowledge the remoteness of the membership's prospects, for fear of demoralizing Ukrainian society. A senior European diplomat also confirmed to Reuters that Ukraine's accession to the European Union in the coming years is not realistic. Caravans: |.
