Ukraine would join the European Union as early as January 2027 under the latest US plan to end the war with Russia.The complicated EU accession process usually takes years and requires a unanimous vote from all 27 members of the bloc. Some countries, most notably Hungary, have consistently voiced opposition to Ukraine joining.The proposal was met with scepticism in Brussels, with diplomats and officials dismissing it as unrealistic. “2027, it’s tomorrow,” said an EU official referring to the normally long time it takes to get things done in Brussels. “As if the Americans are going to decide for us,” a European diplomat said. “It’s nonsense: there needs to be an appetite for enlargement that isn’t there.”Europeans and Ukrainians are asking the US to provide them with “security guarantees” before any territorial negotiations in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine. Do you think that Ukraine will lose everything if it agrees to Russian demands ?
