Joining the bloc will take more than a decade, Austria’s EU Affairs Minister Karoline Edtstadler warns

Ukraine’s accession to the European Union will not happen “in the next five to ten years,” Austrian EU Affairs Minister Karoline Edtstadler has predicted. Austria’s foreign minister has expressed a similar view, despite European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s insistence that Ukraine will be swiftly ushered into the bloc.

EU accession for Ukraine would be “a long process to adjust to, which certainly cannot be achieved in the next five to ten years,” Edtstadler told Austria’s APA news agency on Wednesday. The minister added that as some Balkan states have been waiting “for decades” to join the union, there could be no fast track for Ukraine.

Prior to Edtstadler’s comments, Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg angered Kiev by suggesting that Ukraine instead pursue an association agreement with the EU, or integration into the European Economic Area. Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko called this advice “strategically short-sighted and not in the interests of a united Europe.”



What the foreign minister…wanted to address with this is that you might also have to be creative in how you introduce Ukraine to Western values,” Edtstadler told APA. “What Ukraine obviously heard was a no to EU membership, which is not what was meant and is not Austria’s position.”

Austria is not the only EU member urging caution on fast-tracking Ukraine’s membership bid. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock warned in March that “joining the EU is not something that can be done in a few months,” while Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has cautioned that expediting Ukraine’s membership could be seen as unfair by long-term candidates such as Turkey and Montenegro.

In assessing a country’s bid for membership, the European Commission evaluates everything from its economic performance to its legal system, along with environmental regulations and agricultural practices. This process can take decades, with Turkey, for example, remaining a candidate country since 1999.

Nevertheless, Ukraine has completed the first part of a questionnaire for prospective members, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen promised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last month that it “will not, as usual, be a matter of years to form this opinion but I think a matter of weeks.”

EU sources told Bloomberg last month that a preliminary decision on Ukraine’s candidacy could come as early as June. However, full membership would still be contingent on an investigation by the European Commission and the unanimous consent of every EU member state.


None of business, but it seems there’s confusion in paradise o, “Zelenski D_Clown” won’t like this news. I bet he’ll drag this beautiful woman tomorrow and include Austria in his enemy’s list.

Whether we are pro west or pro russia,we all know that both sides have either lied or exaggerated some facts for propaganda. You can't tell me that you think that a missile hit that boat,the propaganda pictures we saw on frontpage was of a ship on fire,which indicates that there is severe damage to that ship. The ship we saw on the topic on frontpage can't be repaired quickly that in just a day or two,that it now looks like the above pictures.
We are all humans and children of God,so for you children or unborn children,please don't lie to us and take us as fools. The post that the ship was sunk or even hit at all is western propaganda. Simple as that.

don’t mind him, that igborat go avoid this thread like plague, cos na him spread the fake news yesterday, even made FP, fake news but the moderators no go push this one to FP, cos I just made em look like a fooooool, with this bursting

joyandfaith:
It was hit by missile but quickly sailed to Sevastopol. No media reported it as being sunk. Some parts of the ship was damaged by missile. Some crew members were said to be wounded. Damage may not be serious anyway.

you say…..as seen from one user’s post here yesterday …

skoskosko:
And somehow the civilizations of the US and Europeans would not end as well. So you did not realize that a launch would necessitate a counter launch. You did not realize that both sides has the capability to annihilate each other. You did not realize the concept of MAD will play out. You also did not realize that both sides has credible second strike options and viable triads. You do not realize that war heads today are 100s of times more powerful than FATBOY?

Oga, should Russia tactically nuke Ukraine, nothing will happen. The world and UN would wail, Putin would be demonized, they will break all diplomatic ties and all remaining channels of trade and cooperation, but no one would dare launch a nuclear attack so long it was not against a NATO state. This is because a launch would necessitate a full counter launch and both sides would be destroyed. No one wins a nuclear war today, that is why it is called deterrence.

those guys na jambites what do you expect bro….. social studies and secondary school’s government knowledge… Dey ignore their ignoramus black a$$

I don't really care the damage on Russian arsenals. None of this has deterred Putin from wasting bloody ujranian lives

not even the sanctions

Debunked!!!

Another Ukrainian propoganda about the destruction of a Russian Navy ship has been debunked

A photo has been published in which the Admiral Makarov is safe and sound in the port of Sevastopol
today.

The day before, a number of Ukrainian media, NATO shills and officials were actively disseminating information about an alleged missileattack on our frigate off Serpent Island.

This turned out to be another lie to inspire the Ukrainians against the backdrop of the defeat in Mariupol and the heavy losses of the Armed
Forces of Ukraine in battles.


“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”

The same thing will happen.

1. All states cannot have the same number of electoral college points. Kano and Ekiti want be equal. Rivers and Benue want be the same.

2. As popular votes, all a candidate needs is to target states with huge number of points and win them since a simple majority in any state gives you all the points, we are back to square 1.

The solution is for the electorates to vote the best candidates not because of tribe.

good afternoon boss, how’s family?

LONDON, May 6 (Reuters) -

President Vladimir Putin will send a "doomsday" warning to the West when he leads celebrations on Monday marking the 77th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany, brandishing Russia's vast firepower while its forces fight on in Ukraine.

Defiant in the face of deep Western isolation since he ordered the invasion of Russia's neighbour, Putin will speak on Red Square before a parade of troops, tanks, rockets and intercontinental ballistic missiles.

A fly-past over St Basil's Cathedral will include supersonic fighters, Tu-160 strategic bombers and, for the first time since 2010, the Il-80 "doomsday" command plane, which would carry Russia's top brass in the event of a nuclear war, the Defence Ministry said.


In that scenario, the Il-80 is designed to become the roaming command centre for the Russian president. It is packed with technology but specific details are Russian state secrets.

The 69-year-old Kremlin leader has repeatedly likened the war in Ukraine to the challenge the Soviet Union faced when Adolf Hitler's Nazis invaded in 1941.

"The attempt to appease the aggressor on the eve of the Great Patriotic War turned out to be a mistake that cost our people dearly," Putin said on Feb. 24 when he announced what he called a special military operation in Ukraine.

"We will not make such a mistake a second time, we have no right."

Putin casts the war in Ukraine as a battle to protect Russian speakers there from persecution by Nazis and to guard against what he terms the U.S. threat to Russia posed by NATO enlargement. Ukraine and the West dismiss the fascism claim as nonsense and say Putin is waging an unprovoked war of aggression.

The Soviet Union lost 27 million people in World War Two, more than any other country, and Putin has railed in recent years at what Moscow sees as attempts in the West to revise the history of the war to belittle the Soviet victory.

Beside the 1812 defeat of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, the defeat of Nazi Germany is the Russians' most revered military triumph, though both catastrophic invasions from the west left Russia deeply sensitive about its borders.

”Putin never threatened Ukraine with nukes, the deterrent nah for the West, and he ain’t bluffing, even NATO knows that…” -OP

”No reasonable country go declare war on a nuclear armed country, not even a super-nuclear country like Russia” . -OP

”North Korea still dey give em headache, cos during wars there’s no rule, why not avoid the devil. “

”Putin can never use nuke on Ukraine, there are far better options wey go ruin Ukraine but dem never reach that part, nah friendly match dem still Dey play, if he declare full scale war on Kyiv , that comedian go seek asylum in Brussels dem no go tell am b4 he japa, cos nothing like targeting military infrastructures, na total destruction of Ukraine from the air and naval bases, but this saga won’t lead to that, make those rats in the steel plants starve to death first”- OP

My guy dance finish, release two shots into the air!!

Anyways, Ukraine claims that they have killed over 12 Generals and over 20,000 Soldiers.

If true as claimed, then why are these Soldiers dancing and celebrating............something definitely isn't adding up.

Oh, it is the Ukrainian lies echoed by Western fake news media that isn't adding up.

try reason am this way, who went to the Russian sides to count the dead soldiers, you go don figure out say na propaganda. You wey dem Dey drop missiles on almost every hour, if una manage shoot one back or make we talk say na ground fight, which ukroop soldiers go risk his life to go count the acclaimed dead Russian generals, dem no even sabi lie… so pathetic. So if a Russian general died in an airstrike dem go leave his dead body on the street make the ukroops census come count am….i no talk say Russia no get casualties oh, of course na war…both sides go suffer loss

Brunosamel:
Americans and the west won't like this Russia is too big to be sanctioned the west will slam Russia in public and go to the back and pay for Russia oil and gas in ruble. Bunch of hypocrite
Media propaganda will tell you Russia is loosing the way when we all know Russia have taken over 15 percent of its territory before the was ends it could Reach 40 percent..

you Dey mind dos mumu, if na RT dem go talk say na fake news, nah from their favorite Reuters I go bring the news.
