Details: Jean-Claude Juncker, who headed the European Commission in 2014-2019, proposed the idea of ”partial membership” of Ukraine in the EU – in the format that Ukraine will participate in part of the internal processes in the European Union and meetings, but will not have the right to vote.

Juncker’s direct speech: “Ukraine will not be able to become a member of the EU very quickly… There are still many unresolved problems in Ukraine, from corruption to the sphere of the rule of law, which need to be dealt with before we can seriously talk about Ukraine’s accession.”
More details: In his opinion, for Ukraine such a format of “partial membership” would be a signal of recognition by European partners of its European integration work.
What happened before: A similar statement was made by Junker a year ago – the ex-head of the European Commission said that European partners should not make “false promises” to Ukrainians regarding quick accession to the EU, and that the country is not yet ready for membership, in particular, due to “corruption at all levels of society.” .
