The EU recognizes Ukraine’s desire to become a member of the EU, considers this aspiration to be Ukraine’s sovereign right, but so far this issue is not on the agenda of the European Union, Peter Stano, spokesman for the union’s foreign service, said at a briefing in Brussels.
“We recognize Ukraine’s desire for EU membership, as well as its desire for NATO. This is Ukraine’s sovereign right, and no one can influence this decision. We have an association agreement with Ukraine, very close cooperation on all issues. So far, the question of Ukraine’s membership is not on the EU agenda,” he said.
