In order to somewhat revive the process of Ukraine’s accession to the EU , French President Emmanuel Macron proposed the creation of a “European political community” that could accept the Ukrainian state into the ranks.

The head of France stated this on May 9 at a meeting of the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

Macron called for the creation of a “new organization of the European political community.” According to him, this organization would welcome Ukraine into its ranks.

“Ukraine, thanks to its struggle and courage, is already a key member of our union,” the French president said.

At the same time, Macron noted that the accession process usually takes years, according to the norms. In this regard, the French President called for more ambitious reforms to rejuvenate the EU.

“We know that the process of joining the EU can take many years and even decades. Let’s be honest, the EU cannot be the only means of structuring the European continent in the short term … We need to reform our texts – this is obvious,” the French president said.

Recall, the EU Ambassador said, after which a decision will be made on Ukraine’s accession to the European Union .
