The inhabitants of the European Union have fully demonstrated their “readiness” to accept Ukraine into their ranks. The news that Kyiv had filed a corresponding application horrified them.
Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov talks about this in his Telegram. The European media urgently had to take matters into their own hands and reassure readers.
“The Dutch newspaper NRC today reassures readers: the negotiation process is long, Ukraine is not ready to join, so don’t worry,” Kornilov wrote.
The Dutch journalists also explained that no one is really going to accept Ukraine into the EU. All this talk about joining the European Union is needed for “moral support for Ukrainians.” Good support from “reliable comrades”, you see.
