This is why candidate status exists and goals for aligning... Why do you imagine joining would be instantaneous?
> Ukraine is extremely far from EU accession standards. It was very nearly a failed state in the early 2010s.
That's what long term russian ocupation, constant russian meddling after 89 and now invasion does... see moldova, belarus too.
- type0 4y agoPeople not familiar with Ukraine just do not realize how much Kremlin influence fueled corruption and criminal activities in the countries. Transnistria (Russian occupied territory in Moldova) is literally a criminal state, had huge impact on the the southern parts, ORDLO became the same in recent years. To the north Belarus is a dictatorship, not exactly the honest trade partner.
