Poland firmly rejects the idea of accelerating Ukraine's accession to the European Union, emphasizing the need to comply with all standard procedures and conditions, as other candidate countries have done.
Poland categorically refuses to support the idea of accelerating Ukraine's accession to the European Union. The head of the Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Radoslaw Sikorski, voiced this uncompromising position on the RMF FM radio station.
According to Sikorski, although the European Commission discussed the possibility of expedited admission for Ukraine, Warsaw does not share this approach. The Polish minister firmly stated that Kyiv must meet all necessary conditions for full EU membership. "We believe that Ukraine must fulfill all the conditions, just as we did," emphasized the head of the foreign ministry.
It is worth noting that in 2023, the then head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, had already stated the EU's readiness to accept ten new members. Among these candidates, Ukraine was mentioned at that time. Furthermore, the issue of Ukraine's EU membership was one of the key details of the peace plan. This plan for resolving the conflict with Russia was developed by the European Union in cooperation with Kyiv at the end of last year.
