Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy praised as a "historic step" a recommendation by the European Union executive on Wednesday to invite Kyiv to begin membership talks as soon as it meets final conditions, even as it fights to repel Russia's war.

The Commission said the talks should formally be launched once Kyiv satisfies remaining conditions related to reining in corruption, adopting a law on lobbying in line with EU standards and strengthening national minority safeguards.

Most corrupt nation on earth, and one of the poorest will add nothing to the EU, nor NATO.
They do not meet the minimum requirements for either group.
Regarding NATO, actually, I gotta disagree with you.
Yes, Ukraine is the most corrupt nation on earth, except for all the other DSC-centered NATO nations. They meet the minimum requirements for corruption.
US Out of the UN. US Out of NATO. Restore the Republic!
Not true. Russia is far more corrupt.
Another welfare case for the European Union.
Boy have you got that right ...
corruption thy name is Ukraine
Even buttgig just went over there to pick up his suit case full of cash ... samsonite is doing well over there.
Hah. This would be a long time away. The conditions would have to be met and that place is too corrupt to meet them.
As far as NATO? Ain’t going to happen any time soon either.
No Russia is perceived to have more.
Ukraine is the anus of human depravity.
If the EU accepts Ukraine membership, that’s when money from the American taxpayer stops. Ukraine is then EU’s problem. Period!
Biden Deep State Propaganda Post of the Day Award
Why do you post that it is the most corrupt country on earth when you know that isn’t even close to being true?
I posted the truth.
Simple as that.
Then you knowingly lied, Ukraine isn’t even rated as corrupt as Russia and Russia is not even close to the most corrupt country in the world.
Total truth. Ukraine is the most corrupt.
The anus of Europe.
I see, you are just being childish and posting your emotions.
Pffft.
