As the autumn months approach, Ukraine is on the brink of potential EU membership. The European Union (EU) countries are set to discuss whether to begin negotiations with Ukraine to initiate the membership process. An MEP Henna Virkkunen shares her insights on what this means for both Ukraine and the EU in a recent interview.

According to Virkkunen, unanimous approval from all EU countries is required before any membership negotiations can begin. If approved, the negotiation process could take several years. Virkkunen believes that it’s crucial to maintain high standards for Ukraine’s potential EU membership, emphasizing that the decision should not be rushed.
