Ukraine** Zelensky has always been eager for Ukraine to join the European Union, which he believes is a strategic goal and a national choice for Ukraine. However, the EU did not buy it, not only did not provide Ukraine with a clear timetable for joining the EU, but also refused to provide Ukraine with 50 billion euros in economic aid, so that Zelensky's dream of joining the EU encountered a cold winter.
Zelensky signed an application on February 28 this year asking the European Union to approve Ukraine as an EU candidate country through special procedures, and hopes to receive an official response from the EU by June this year, according to Ukraine**. Zelensky also asked the European Union to provide 50 billion euros in economic aid to Ukraine to help Ukraine cope with Russia's military threat and the impact of the new crown epidemic.
However, the EU is not interested in Zelensky's demands and is even somewhat disgusted. The EU side believes that Ukraine's application for EU membership is a long-term process that requires Ukraine to carry out comprehensive reform in accordance with EU standards, and there can be no shortcuts or special treatment. The EU side also pointed out that Ukraine has not yet met the basic requirements of the EU, such as the rule of law, anti-corruption, human rights and other aspects There are still serious problems, and Ukraine needs to accelerate the pace and effect of reform.
As for the 50 billion euros in aid requested by Zelensky, the EU side directly rejected it. The EU side said that the EU has provided Ukraine with a lot of political, economic, humanitarian and technical assistance, but Ukraine has not made full use of this assistance, but has wasted a lot of resources and opportunities. The EU also said that the EU itself is also facing severe challenges from the new crown epidemic, and it needs to prioritize the interests and needs of EU member states, and cannot provide unlimited assistance to Ukraine.
The EU's lukewarm response left Zelensky disappointed and frustrated. Zelensky has said on many occasions that Ukraine is part of Europe, the Ukrainian people share European values and ideals, and Ukraine and the EU share common interests and goals. Zelensky also once said that Ukraine is the EU's most loyal partner, and Ukraine has paid a huge price and sacrifice for the EU's security and stability. Zelensky hopes that the EU can give Ukraine more support and respect, so that Ukraine can become a member of the EU as soon as possible.
However, the EU did not respond to Zelensky's expectations and demands, but instead gave Zelensky a basin of cold water. The attitude of the EU shows that the EU does not really welcome Ukraine's accession and is not willing to pay too much for Ukraine's accession. The EU is more concerned with preserving the EU's internal unity and interests, as well as its relations and balance with Russia. The EU's attitude towards Ukraine also reflects the EU's distrust and dissatisfaction with Ukraine, which believes that Ukraine has not really fulfilled its commitment to reform, but has been seeking external rescue and intervention.
The EU's refusal to provide 50 billion euros in aid to Ukraine has not only dealt a blow to Zelensky's dream of joining the EU, but also had a serious impact on Ukraine's economy and security. Ukraine is currently facing Russian military pressure and the crisis of the new crown epidemic, and urgently needs external funding and support to maintain Ukraine's stability and development. The EU's refusal has deprived Ukraine of an important piece of aid** and made Ukraine feel isolated and helpless. The EU's refusal has also caused the Ukrainian people to have a decline in trust and support for the EU, questioning and dissatisfaction with Zelensky's policies and capabilities.
The European Union's refusal to provide 50 billion euros in aid to Ukraine has given Zelensky's dream of joining the European Union a cold winter. Zelensky has to re-examine Ukraine's diplomatic strategy and national interests, and seek more realistic and feasible solutions to deal with the dilemma and challenges facing Ukraine. Zelensky also had to speed up Ukraine's internal reform and construction, improve Ukraine's independent ability and competitiveness, and win trust and support at home and abroad.
