Our ultimate goal is to grant Ukraine a candidate status in EU already this summer! Any EU country opposing it is pro Putinist and works against EU global interests.

Twitter is NO place for wise debate of complicated and important political policy questions. So that Tweet fits right in the Twitter wheelhouse. SMH, much EU politics and Twitter fit like a glove.
Ukraina, visdrīzāk būs tāds pats “mūžīgais” ES kandidāta status kā Turcija bija savā laikā.
ES globālās intereses diktē Francijas un Vācijas duets, tā kā cerēt var tikai uz kandidāta statusu, bet neko vairāk.
I like the part about “anyone opposing is pro Putinist and works against EU”. That’s a good start.
Vo. Politiķis ar olām. Tādi ir retums
So, if you have problems with Zelensky banning opposition parties, arresting opposition leaders, taking over independent media outlets, disallowing new democratic referendums, and not recognizing previous makes you pro-putin?
I thought it would make me pro-democracy. How is this connected with putin? If we want to abandon EU principles, let’s do it to get Ukraine in, but let’s not pretend we are doing it because they’re qualified. While we’re at it, it would be a slap in the face to others who have patiently waited.
We must also immediately accept, without question, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia.
Additionally, the EU must immediately accept Moldova and Georgia for obvious reasons.
