Analysis: What does Ukraine joining the EU really mean?

Al Jazeera  

European Commission green-lit Ukraine for EU candidate status, but becoming a member might take years because of the war with Russia. “Ukraine belongs to the European family,” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said, while Italy’s Prime Minister Mario Draghi added, “The most important message of our visit is that Italy wants Ukraine in the EU.” European leaders have used Ukraine’s EU membership to show their solidarity and both “don’t necessarily have to be the exact same thing”, Will Daniel, assistant professor in comparative politics at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, said. “We can expect that Russia will try to destabilise Ukraine’s territorial integrity to keep the country in this order, with the aim to prevent fast progress on this EU negotiations,” Lété told Al Jazeera. “The war will complicate things,” Lété said, adding, “the attention, the resources of Ukraine will probably go mostly to the war and less resources will be able to be invested in the European Union negotiations.” Ukraine, a country with 40 million people, would be a massive addition to the EU.
