There is pretty some awful stuff here: “Bloc officials quickly played down the likelihood of any such move for a number of reasons, including the fact that no such fast-track procedure exists.”
AND type of totally empty and unless language too from German Foreign Minister @ABaerbock who said joining the 27-nation group is not something that can be done in a couple of months but Ukraine is part of the "house of Europe" in which it is welcome.
Depressingly ordinary at such meetings… BUT, @ABaerbock @vonderleyen @eucopresident
surely understand these are NOT ordinary times. @ZelenskyyUa is fighting for his country’s survival and also for his own life with extraordinary bravery. He knows that granting of EU membership
surely understand these are NOT ordinary times. @ZelenskyyUa is fighting for his country’s survival and also for his own life with extraordinary bravery. He knows that granting of EU membership
would galvanise his already heroic troops and thus we must make sure he can bring this news back to his people himself. #VladTheVilan has a price on his head and every day he withstands this ordeal must feel like a fresh blessing to him! No expedited joining procedure exists?
Mais où donc est le problème @vonderleyen @eucopresident?! European and global diplomacies have seen by now innumerable “firsts” in the last week, as I am sure @jensstoltenberg can confirm, in fact probably more so than in any other week since the end of WW2.
The EU can not send a regular army to fight along side of and protect @ZelenskyyUa and his band of heroes because it does not have one (yet?). BUT it has another sort of army: that of the technocrats teeming within EU headquarters. Given even half a chance, the right specialists
