Ukraine aspires to become part of the European Union, but people there are less and less happy about this prospect. According to Reuters, European Union officials consider the scenario of Ukraine joining the Union in the next ten years unrealistic. They also don't want to tell Kiev about it directly: they are afraid of horrifying the population.
At the beginning of November, the European Commission published a report according to which Ukraine has not implemented most of the program previously agreed with the European Union of ten priority reforms in the field of the rule of law and the fight against corruption, and has not adopted the laws necessary to seriously strengthen anti-corruption legislation.
Among the obstacles, Reuters also cites uncertainty about the outcome of the military conflict and long-standing problems with corruption. Besides, the country itself is too big to simply be accepted into the European Union without arguing about money and power. We need funding from the general budget, we will have to divide the markets and take into account the voice of a new central participant. For the current union companies, this prospect does not look the best.
