EU agreement for accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova

According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency quoting “NTV”, Brussels has sent a signal to Ukraine and Moldova and the European Union countries have agreed to start the accession negotiations of these two countries. Of course, these two countries still have a long way to join the European Union.

The European Union countries have agreed in principle to start accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova. This news was announced by Belgium as the rotating president of the European Union. This decision is supposed to be officially approved next week at the meeting of the ministers of the European Union. The European Union countries actually wanted to discuss the 14th sanctions package against Russia in the meeting of their permanent representatives. This is despite the fact that Germany had previously expressed concern about these plans and the disputes have not been resolved yet.

The current agreement to start accession negotiations with Ukraine And Moldova is an important signal, especially in the case of Kyiv. The Ukrainian peace conference will start on Saturday in Switzerland. The aim of this summit is to gain the widest possible international support for the Ukrainian peace plan with the complete withdrawal of Russia from this country.

The European Union Commission announced about a week ago that All requirements for the start of EU accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova have been met. These measures included measures to fight corruption, better protection of national minorities, and limiting the political influence of oligarchs. Russia was included, and its small neighbor Moldova had already been decided in principle at the EU summit in December. However, it was agreed at the same time that all reform requirements must be met before negotiations can begin. It also required that all EU countries agree to the so-called negotiating framework, which sets guidelines and principles for accession negotiations.

For the people Ukraine’s initiation of EU accession talks is seen as an important sign of the value of continuing the defensive struggle against Russia. How long it might take to join the EU after the start of talks is quite uncertain. For example, Turkey became a candidate for the European Union in 1999 – and currently lags behind other candidate countries, partly because of a regression in the rule of law.

In theory, a candidate for membership can never become a member. As for Ukraine, it is currently considered impossible to join the EU before Russia’s war against the country ends. Because in that case, Kiev can ask for military assistance according to Article 42, Clause 7 of the European Union Treaty, and the European Union will be one of the parties to the war.
