Paris-Sana
French Minister of State for European Affairs Clément Bonn said that Ukraine's accession to the European Union will take 15-20 years.
Bonn said in a radio interview carried by AFP: We have to be honest about this file... If we say that Ukraine will join the European Union within 6 months, a year or two years, we are lying... And the accession procedures may require 15 to 20 years.
These statements constitute a new blow to the ambitions of the Kyiv regime and its president, Vladimir Zelensky, for the possibility of joining the Union within a short period.
French President Emmanuel Macron, in turn, had announced earlier that this step may take a long time, calling on the 27 countries of the Union to form a new, softer formula that would allow new members to join it.
On the 28th of last February, 4 days after the launch of the Russian special military operation to protect Donbass, the Ukrainian presidency signed a formal request to immediately join the Union under a special procedure, while Moscow warned more than once of this step, considering that it is inseparable from joining NATO, unless It is a red line for it and for its strategic security.
