France, Germany, the Netherlands and Italy have spoken out against Ukraine's accelerated accession to the European Union. European governments insist that Ukraine must go through all the necessary stages of reforms despite the war.<\/p>\n

Position of key EU countries<\/h2>\n

According to the information Politico<\/a>, France<\/b>, Germany<\/b>, Netherlands<\/b> and Italy<\/b> opposed the accelerated process of Ukraine's accession to the EU. They insist that Kyiv must comply with all the standard procedures and reforms required of candidates for membership.<\/p>\n

These countries believe that even in the context of war, no political exceptions should be made for Ukraine. This underscores the desire to preserve the unity and rules of the bloc's enlargement.<\/p>\n

Fear of an internal reaction<\/h2>\n

In a number of EU capitals, there are concerns about the reaction of their own voters to possible enlargement. This is especially true in France, where the issue of accession new members to the EU<\/a> may be put to a referendum and become the subject of a political struggle within the country.<\/p>\n

Diplomats note that domestic political tensions could affect the position of governments on EU enlargement, especially in the run-up to elections or in the face of rising populism.<\/p>\n

Impact of previous expansion experience<\/h2>\n

The experience of interacting with Hungary after its accession to the EU in 2004 also influences European leaders' caution. Concerns about possible future blocking of decisions by the new members remain relevant.<\/p>\n

This factor forces EU governments to carefully assess the potential risks of further enlargement and insist on strict adherence to membership criteria.<\/p>\n

Next steps for Ukraine<\/h2>\n

European governments emphasise that Ukraine must complete a full and \u00abmerit-based\u00bb reform cycle. Only then will the possibility of its accession to the EU be considered.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
