German Chancellor clearly states: the possibility of Ukraine joining the EU by 2027 is very low.

German Chancellor Merkel:

"It is impossible for Ukraine to join the EU in January 2027."

All countries wishing to join the EU, including Ukraine, must meet the Copenhagen criteria. These procedures usually take several years to complete."

Zelenskyy said on the 27th that he hopes Ukraine will join the EU in 2027. According to European media reports, a draft peace agreement submitted by Ukrainian and European officials to the U.S. requires Ukraine to become an EU member no later than January 1, 2027.

Does Zelenskyy think that clinging to the United States' coattails can solve everything?

At the current situation, the relationship between the Atlantic alliance is at its worst in history, the EU has started to unite to deal with the U.S. occupation of Greenland; joint actions, resist the high tariffs imposed by the U.S., the EU is becoming increasingly uneasy about the U.S. It is currently undergoing policy shifts, reducing reliance on the U.S., achieving economic trade and military defense autonomy.

In this context, even if the U.S. agrees to Zelenskyy joining the EU, would Ukraine really join the EU? The EU is not the U.S. EU, even if there are individuals or countries within the EU who want to follow the U.S. wishes, the EU itself has legal rules and regulations, and it cannot be squeezed in by any means. As Merkel said, it's absolutely impossible.

On the other hand, the U.S. has long been fed up with Zelenskyy, and has already seen through him as the biggest obstacle to peace. If it weren't for his repeated prolongation of the wartime state and maintaining the wartime presidential term, Trump would have taken him down long ago.

But at present, Trump is eager to end the war in Ukraine and achieve a peaceful achievement, so he still needs Zelenskyy. In Trump's eyes, Zelenskyy is nothing.

But Zelenskyy doesn't see it that way. In the current situation, he is arrogant, domineering, and speaks disrespectfully. At Davos, he publicly confronted the U.S., the EU, and all the countries he didn't like, such as Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. His arrogance has led Ukraine's foreign relations into an unprecedentedly isolated situation. The country has already been ruined in his hands.

Finally, let's say, even if all conditions are met, joining the EU also requires popularity. Does Zelenskyy have it?
