In the current world situation, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the Russia-Ukraine conflict have attracted much attention. It is worth noting that although the international community has been mediating for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, there are no obvious signs of a ceasefire. However, in contrast, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has recently shown some signs of easing. Putin has repeatedly expressed his opposition to Ukraine's accession to NATO, but not to its accession to the European Union. Ukraine submitted its application documents for joining the European Union last year, but the EU has been holding back and has reservations about taking over this "hot potato". Recently, however, European Council President Charles Michel unexpectedly announced that the EU has decided to start accession negotiations with Ukraine. The news was somewhat unexpected, but at the same time it made sense. Hungary, as one of the countries within the European Union that has always opposed Ukraine's accession, did not vote against it, which caused speculation and heated discussions in the outside world. During the voting process, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban chose to abstain and left, expressing his ** with actions. While Ukraine is happy about this, they also face a difficult path to membership. The Prime Minister of Ukraine revealed that Ukraine still needs to complete more than 2,700 pieces of legislation before joining the European Union, which makes their road even longer and more difficult. However, just as Ukraine was rejoicing, bad news came - according to the European Union and Ukraine**, Ukraine's treasury is about to run out of steam, and it may go bankrupt in March next year. If Western countries do not provide timely assistance, Ukraine faces the reality of bankruptcy. Ukraine**'s debt is too large to repay, and Ukrainian nationals will be saddled with debt until it is repaid or someone takes over. Ukraine's war situation on the front line is worrying, the defeat is already here, and Putin may gain greater initiative. For Biden, he may need to rethink how to continue to contain Russia. Needless to say, Ukraine is in a worrying situation, in a state of "sinking in silence".
The announcement by European Council President Charles Michel was a real surprise, as they have been expressing reservations about Ukraine's accession. Ukraine has been submitting its application to the EU for some time, however, the EU has been pushing back and is cautious about taking over this "hot potato". Hungary has always been one of the countries that oppose Ukraine's accession, and the outside world thought that they would vote against it. However, during the voting process, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban chose to abstain, a move that is puzzling. Some analysts believe that the EU unfroze the previously frozen funds against Hungary on the eve of the meeting, which is regarded as a "deal" with Hungary**. This move has both pleased Ukraine and cast doubt on the real motives of the accession talks.
However, even if the EU summit formally approves Ukraine's accession talks, the road ahead for Ukraine remains bleak. According to the Ukrainian prime minister, they still need to complete more than 2,700 pieces of legislation to meet EU requirements. This may seem like a huge number, but it actually encompasses many important areas, including reforming the judiciary, fighting corruption, and strengthening human rights protections. Ukraine** needs to do more to solve the many problems it faces both internally and externally and to achieve a fit with the EU's conditions. At the same time, the EU's requirements for Ukraine are becoming clearer, and they hope that Ukraine can make substantial changes to achieve the goals of democratization, market economy, and the rule of law. Only by making substantial progress in these areas will Ukraine be able to receive more support and assistance.
The start of negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU is a good thing for the Ukrainian side, but at the time of celebration, they are facing the problem of a shortage of state treasures. According to the European Union and Ukraine**, Ukraine could be at risk of bankruptcy in March next year due to financial constraints. Ukraine** has too much debt to repay, which puts their finances in a precarious position. Without timely external assistance, Ukraine may well not be able to avoid the fate of bankruptcy.
Faced with this dilemma, Ukraine** has begun to actively seek a solution. They hope to get through negotiations with international organizations and countries, as well as financial assistance and economic support. Western countries are the main supporters of Ukraine, and they have pledged to continue to provide assistance to help Ukraine tide over the difficult times. However, for the time being, Western aid may not be enough to solve Ukraine's financial difficulties. The economic problems facing Ukraine are not only the lack of funds, but also the challenges of inflation, economic restructuring, etc. Addressing these issues requires more comprehensive and systematic economic reforms.
In addition to its domestic economic problems, Ukraine is also facing serious challenges on the front. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has lasted for many years, and the war situation between the two sides has been basically determined. Ukraine, although it has received support and assistance from Western countries, is still at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Russia. Ukraine's army is relatively backward in equipment and strategically limited. At the same time, Russia is constantly strengthening its influence in Ukraine, interfering in Ukraine's internal affairs by supporting separatist forces. As Ukraine is in a state of war, the political, economic, and social aspects of the country have been impacted. This makes Ukraine's development and stability difficult.
In this case, Putin may further consolidate his dominance on the Ukrainian issue. He can use a variety of means, including economic sanctions and political pressure, to further weaken Ukraine's power. For Biden, he needs to replan how to deal with Ukraine. Containment in this part of Ukraine is very important for the United States, because it is an important bargaining chip against Russia. But at the moment, the situation in Ukraine is not optimistic, and they are facing economic and military difficulties. If Ukraine goes bankrupt, it will have more negative consequences for domestic stability and development.
To sum up, although Ukraine has made important progress in the EU accession talks, the Ukrainian side is still facing great difficulties in the context of bankruptcy and frontal challenges. How to solve economic problems, stabilize the situation, and continue to contain Russia in the international arena will be an important task for Ukraine.
