Despite officially applying for membership back in February, it’s very unlikely Ukraine will join the European Union any time soon. So in this video, we explain the process of EU accession and the political stumbling blocks that are holding Ukraine back.

    The International Observers urges the EU to seriously look into where all financial assistance and aids given to Zelensky's Ukraine War 🇺🇦 have gone to ? As there were no (none) check and balance and the amount assisted has gone into US trillions of dallors. Zelensky had mentioned corruption, the sacking of his generals, and the latest (from the US) claimed that Zelensky had invested in properties and ownership of resort styles houses and many others, hence Zelensky didn't proceed to address the US Senate as knew they were demanding answers to those accusations of his siphoning of the financial assistance and to prevent the Biden's Administration to continue giving financial aids for Zelensky's Ukraine War 🇺🇦 as the International Observers felt that those incoming financial assistance and aids have had gone out of controlled. Hence, the International Observers urged the EU to relook the Ukraine bid to join the EU
    particularly in the financial assistance aspect. It's was the right decision to block the $73b in aid to Zelensky (not Ukraine War) as Zelensky had gone bolder recently as from seeking for financial assistance and aids from the beginning to demanding for more Financial Assistance and even commended that some countries financial aids were not enough. If goes unchecked, he would some become the richest person in the whole world at the expense of the Ukrainian and the country required US Trillions of dollars to rebuilt Ukraine's infrastructures of the nation and the livelihood of its citizens.😢

    If Ukraine joins EU then all rules of the EU will be broken and Europe will be in a very unsafe situation perhaps for ever. Many of us think if Ukraine joins the EU, the EU will brake.

    March 1, 2024 at 12:22 pm

    The thumbnail asks the question: "Will Ukraine join Europe?". Please don't mix up the EU and Europe in such ways. There are a lot of European countries, like Switzerland, Norway, and Ukraine that are and always were part of Europe, even if they are not part of the EU. Suggesting that non-EU countries are less European than the EU-member countries feels quite demeaning, especially when it comes to countries on the periphery which are often depicted by western nationalists as lower-grade, non-European countries, with their citizens being second-class people…

    а вы хоть знаете,что такое Украина прежде .чем думать о принятии ее в евросоюз?) я бы не стала рисковать и 100 раз подумала бы и не только из за экономической ситуации. Это как пожалеть кошку на улице, которая потом тебе будет гадить, а ты ее ненавидеть. Извините, но это правда.Ничего не выйдет.

    So UK has leaved EU and another UK wanna join immediately.

    In Ukraine medium age is raising, politics are working for oligarchs, and I'm sure EU or Germany cannot accept second Greece crises.

    You can't deny the evidence that there are these far right MAGA groups in Ukraine such as the Azov Battalion are by definition Nazi groups, call me a Putin propagandist if you don't like the facts but this is just how it is, they killed innocent people in the Donbas.

    Their current president is a hero there, if he really wants to do that he can, and the good thing about that is many of these changes can help everyday Ukrainians making him more popular so it's not impossible, it just takes a while to write the laws and get them passed.

  22. @stevengruber57

    March 1, 2024 at 12:22 pm

    A guarantee of Ukraine not joining the EU and NATO would seem to be a good offer to Putin to leave Ukraine without using nukes or other WMDs. We're backing him into a corner with this talk.

    March 1, 2024 at 12:22 pm

    What Ukraine does have going for it in some ways, is that once the war is ended – because so much has been destroyed on so many levels – the country and its population have the opportunity to rebuild many of these aspects of society, economy and market, industry, politics and institutions, in the image they want it to be. Achieving these kinds of goals can often be more realistic when you're building something pretty much from scratch – than if trying to "fix" a system that has cemented itself as broken throughout decades or even centuries.

    after some talks .A bit of reform .A commitment to basic common values of peace ,the rule of law,and a commitment to equality i think its possible .The very thing that putin started a war over.

    Ukraine is far too economically poor and undeveloped to be able to join the EU anytime soon. And it’s raise with corruption and instability. Furthermore it doesn’t do much trade with the EU.

  29. @ianatk9355

    When Hungary is booted out, Ukraine should be able to take their place.

    Makes sense that they do.

    Ukraine would be an excellent subsitute for the departure of the UK.
