Financial Times of the UK reported today that Zelenskyy is urging the EU to move from empty promises to a specific timetable for Ukraine's accession. "I want a date. I am asking," he said, urging Brussels to stop stalling and set a clear goal - implying that Ukraine could join the EU as early as 2027. "We must not let the next generation of leaders face a situation where Russia blocks Ukraine's EU accession for 50 years."
Comment: Zelenskyy is now urgently demanding a clear date for Ukraine's EU accession. In short, he is afraid that Ukraine will be gradually left aside by the West. He wants to use a definite time to bind the EU completely, gain real security guarantees, and prevent Russia from dragging Ukraine down indefinitely. However, the EU is actually hesitant. It dares not fully agree, but also does not want to directly refuse, only to keep playing ping-pong. The 2027 time point is more of a hope, whether it can really join remains far away.
