The possibility of Ukraine joining the European Union (EU) is being seriously considered by EU countries. In the upcoming fall, discussions will take place to determine whether negotiations should begin to initiate the membership process. MEP Henna Virkkunen shares her insights on what this means for both Ukraine and the EU.

According to Virkkunen, any decision to begin negotiations requires unanimous approval from all EU countries. The negotiation process itself can be lengthy, potentially taking several years. However, she believes that Ukraine should adhere to high standards during this time.
