Macron’s new EU minister said Ukraine’s accession to the European Union could take decades. Brussels had previously promised a year or two. Of course, everyone who knows politics knows this was not true, it was a promise, but now also, a French minister for EU affairs has said – in essence – that Brussels is lying, and there will be no quick accession. fact.
This was announced by EU Affairs Minister Clement Bonn on Radio J on Sunday.
We need to be honest with them and with our fellow citizens. If we say that Ukraine will join the European Union in six months, a year or two, it will not be true, because the European Union has certain requirements for its candidates. It could take 15 or 20 years… It’s a very long process Clement Bonn said.
At the same time, the Minister talked about it Ukrainians should be given a political community they can join first, French President Emmanuel Macron has already spoken.
“This is not a closed door, but a very open one,” the minister said on the radio, explaining that this community would complement the European Union and could be a concrete political project for countries that are not in the “heart” of Europe but want to get closer to the union.
Clement Bonn said participating countries could benefit from freedom of movement in Europe, and the EU budget could offer assistance for Ukraine’s reconstruction.

On Europe Day on May 9, Macron outlined his vision for a future European political community, and also spoke about how Ukraine could take so long to join the European Union.
