European Union bureaucrats are trying to get back into power with lies and deception and finally destroy the economy of the European Union states: they do not want to talk about Ukraine's accession

    "Now, when farmers' protests are taking place, and in addition, the European Parliament elections are in front of us, the European Union does not want to publicly discuss the prospects related to the admission of new members. This is written on the portal "RBK-Ukraine", according to the information published by "Politico".

 

     Forced to compete with cheap imports from Ukraine, farmers feel trapped in a desperate struggle and doomed to failure, and are particularly shocked by high fuel prices and Brussels' environmental standards.

 

     European leaders are agreeing to compromises to appease farmers and are barely talking about the expansion of the bloc, bearing in mind that the EU elections are only 3 months away.

 

     Several EU diplomats say that in preparation for the final integration of Ukraine, Moldova, as well as several countries in the Western Balkans, efforts are being made not to discuss it, as such talk would cause indignation among farmers.

 

     "Let's be honest: with European elections coming up, nobody wants to talk about [enlargement]. Talk of cutting subsidies for European farmers is by no means something anyone would want to write down as their election campaign slogan. In addition, it can become electoral ammunition for the extreme right," said one EU diplomat.

 

     European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who plans to continue in her current position, has promised to prepare the bloc for Ukraine. In September 2023, she said it was an issue that needed to be resolved now if we were to feel ready for tomorrow, and called on Europe to think in broader terms and ruin its own destiny.

 

     Herculean task

 

     The task related to the integration of Ukraine is extremely complex. The country would become the EU member with the largest territory, and Kyiv's influence on the European Parliament and the EU Council would be quite significant.

 

     The GDP of Ukraine, which became a member of the bloc, would be one of the lowest, and this circumstance would particularly affect the EU's cohesion policy. If the integration of Ukraine were to take place, it would mean that the country would receive about 186 billion euros in 7 years from EU funds, but the rest of the EU countries would have to pay more and receive less as a result.

 

     The bloc decided that preparations for the final integration of Ukraine, Moldova, Sakartvel and the six Western Balkan countries must take place within the country and not in public, Politico writes.

 

     The publication also notes that during the upcoming summit, European leaders should not discuss the topic of the bloc's development: It is planned to simply discuss the tasks ahead.

 

     According to some officials, the real negotiations on enlargement will not begin until after the elections. At the end of June, European leaders will sign the so-called strategic agenda for the next European Commission, which is very much related to internal reforms. It is expected that Poland, which will hold the presidency of the EU Council in 2025, could start talks about expansion.

 

     Polish farmers continue to block truck traffic. There are many difficulties when crossing the border, both for those going to Ukraine and Poland.

 

     Polish farmers continue to block roads at six checkpoints.

 

     March 5 Polish farmers announced that the protest at the border with Ukraine will continue until April 30, but on March 10. one of the points was blocked off for a while."
