Ukraine belongs to the EU family, European culture and civilization and will definitely be a member of the European Union, European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said.
“Ukraine belongs to the EU family and will be a member of the European Union. That’s for sure. After all that has happened, after the bombing and killing by Russia. The way they are coping. Ukraine’s future is in the EU. It will oblige us to change our procedural rules. It will change the size and diversity of Europe. Because if Ukraine becomes a member, many Balkan countries will want to do the same,” he said at the Munich Security Conference Sunday morning.
Borrell added that “the first homework assignment is to change the way we work.” At the same time, he stressed. that even before the war, Ukraine had numerous problems and the EU supported the country by investing in political and economic development.
The high representative of the European Union expressed confidence that Ukraine would cope with all the reforms quickly and the EU should support it. According to Borrell, the European Commission “has never before worked so fast.”
“Ukraine is a member of the EU, of the European family, of culture, of European civilization. It just has to be institutionalized. They have to do their homework, we have to help them. And we will prepare ourselves to take Ukraine to us,” Borrell said.
