- toyg 5y agoThe saddest thing really is that it was all for nought - the EU won't allow any new members for a generation or more, as it tries to complete the scalable political and economic infrastructure it already needs to work with 27 unruly members. Be it Ukraine, Turkey, Serbia, or whichever - nobody is getting in anytime soon, and making sacrifices towards that objective is delusional.

- megous 5y agoAnd how exactly would Putin's pupet government work towards joining the EU? It's not like it's a job for normal citizens to work towards that. This requires a desire and a massive effort of a whole government, to achieve. Sounds like a joke.
- 331c8c71 5y agoThats not putins problem if whoever ukraine "elects" is not able to join EU or if the EU doesn't take them. No one forbids them.
- pxtail 5y ago(Un)fortunately there is absolutely no credibility anymore behind any messages released by putins govt, they proved multiple times already that they are saying one thing and doing another.
