Ukraine’s EU Accession Would Trigger a Fatal Erosion Within the Bloc 😔

An op-ed in Politico Europe discusses the growing calls for Ukraine's expedited EU accession, highlighting concerns about the negative impact on EU unity and stability. Experts, including Peter Siklosi from the HIIA, argue that Ukraine does not meet the necessary criteria, particularly in combating corruption. The accession could burden the EU economically and lead to the loss of structural funds for Eastern European countries. It may also escalate tensions among farmers in Western Europe and pose risks to the EU's cohesion.
