The question of Ukraine’s accession to the European Union is the subject of debate within the 27 member countries that make it up.
The three main leaders of the European institutions have all already been to kyiv (Ukraine). Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made the trip twice. During her first visit, she hand-delivered to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a questionnaire for accession to the European Union. A strong symbolic gesture. Ukraine then obtained official status as an EU candidate country.
But this is the start of a long marathon in the future for Kyiv. The negotiations will cover 35 technical and complex chapters, such as free movement, public procurement, agriculture and justice. In the meantime, the European Commission should give a positive opinion on this status of candidate country on Friday 17 June. In a week, the 27 European leaders will debate. The consensus is not yet achieved between the EU and Ukraine.
