Will Ukraine join EU in 2027? Zelenskyy responds

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was «very cautious» about reports that Ukraine could join the European Union in 2027.

The head of state said this in response to questions from the media.

«I heard some rumours, but I am very cautious about them for now, ” Zelenskyy said.

He assured that Ukraine will do everything to be technically ready to join the EU by 2027. «At least the main things we will get done, ” he said.

Zelenskyy also called on the West to announce an official and clearly defined date for Ukraine’s accession to the EU.

«I want a concrete date. I am certain that if it is in a treaty — signed by the United States, Russia, specifically Putin, myself as President of Ukraine, and Europe — and there is no date, Russia will do everything to block the process. Not with its own hands, but through certain representatives of Europe. It must be concrete, with a specific date. My signature today on the 20-point plan, the plan to end the war, guarantees Ukrainians a clear date for our accession, ” the president concluded.
