The Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Ministry has been disappointed with a statement made by Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg about Ukraine’s European future.
Let’s be clear, the corruption can be traced back to the russians. They have been working on destroying Ukraine for over a decade. Not sure what is the concern as it was acceptable to allow membership to Greece, Italy, Hungary, Portugal, etc who have a historical problem with corruption. It borders on bigotry.
I understand it won’t end the war but sending ad hoc signals that it is unsupported is delegitimizing Ukraine as a nation in the eyes of russia and its other enemies. It gives them incentive to continue with how they are behaving; murder, genocide, deportations, unrepentant bombings of cities, etc.
Binary pronouncement are harsh and carry weight beyond what can be imagined. The messaging from EU members needs to be only one, ‘We are united with Ukraine and we will work in unison to build a path over time to their membership’. Full stop. Anything else is signals to russia to continue they are invaluable.
Nope and we should talk about getting rid of romainia and bulgary too
