Фейк EU candidacy does nothing for Ukraine; it will take 30 years to join, as Albania, Turkey, and many other countries are waiting for.
The Center for Combating Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine refutes fakes about Ukraine's candidacy for the European Union. EU candidacy for Ukraine is not just a formal decision. The status of a candidate for joining the EU opens up access for Ukraine to new grants and investments from EU states.
To become a full member of the EU, Ukraine must take several steps:
- continue the reform of the judicial system;
- strengthen the fight against corruption;
- ensure compliance with anti-money laundering legislation with FATF standards;
- implement the anti-oligarchic law;
- bring media legislation to EU standards;
- improve the legislation on national minorities.
