Despite the war, Ukraine applied to join the European Union. However, some politicians do not hide the fact that they do not really want to take Ukraine into the EU. Why – read the expert's explanations in the article.
ThisChannel 24 was told by political scientist Nikolai Davydyuk. He stressed that the opinions of such politicians are influenced by pressure and corruption from Russia.
According to him, some European states have a fear that Ukraine will become “Hungary” after joining.

Like a civilized country was accepted into the EU, and then some kind of semi-dictator begins to play in favor of Russia. They are afraid that we may change our position – some kind of OPPL will come, Arestovich or someone like that. They are afraid that Ukraine will already be in the EU and will start splitting from within,” Davidyuk suggested.
The political scientist notes that Ukraine needs to show the EU that we will be the way we are now in the next 100 years – democratic, pro-European, pro-Western people who want a strong Europe.
“And not those who came to split the European Union and will vote for money or “break” sanctions or something else. There is this fear, and we need to prove that this will not happen,” Davidyuk said.

We do not have 5-6 years, it is not clear whether we will live until April-October. I am glad that the Germans can plan for so long, but the Ukrainians do not know if they will live until the evening,” Davidyuk noted.
Help! Probably, Mykola Davidyuk means the last statement of the German representative about the entry of Ukraine to the European Union. Thus, the head of the European Committee of the Bundestag, Anton Gofreiter, believes that full-fledged membership of Ukraine is possible within the next five or six years.
“We can’t let European politicians out of Kyiv without a decision that this will be done in a year or two. We must already“ start the hooks. ”Because if they say“ no to us now during the war, then believe me – without a war they will never say “yes” to us “, – the political scientist believes.
