Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze, a member of the People’s Deputy from the European Solidarity faction and Head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Ukraine’s Integration into the European Union, writes on social media that President Zelenskyy’s statements about “Ukraine’s technical readiness for EU membership as early as 2027” do not stand up to criticism, as necessary reforms within the country are being slowed down.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMr. President Zelensky, despite the fact that the Orban government is indeed artificially blocking our further progress in the negotiations on membership in the European Union, and even despite the fact that Russia will definitely continue to systematically oppose our success, I still humbly ask you to stop spreading manipulative nonsense about \u201cUkraine\u2019s technical readiness for EU membership as early as 2027,\u201d Klympush-Tsintsadze stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Since the summer attack on anti-corruption bodies led by you, Ukraine has significantly slowed down the pace of transformation required for EU membership, and our partners see and notice this. Therefore, their willingness to transfer to us negotiating positions for another 3 clusters only indicates that we will have a complete picture and can clearly plan our work on reforms and finally implement it,” the Head of the relevant committee believes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKnocking on the door of the European Union with a fist demanding to let us in already has a significantly lower effect than insisting on further decisions when we demonstrate the real results of changes, not just another slogan. And Ukrainian society deserves honest and responsible communication,\u201d the deputy emphasizes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s time to stop building castles in the air and constantly blaming partners while you are doing nothing within the state for critically needed changes and reforms, as is classic, are \u201csliding,\u201d summarizes Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze.<\/span><\/p>\n
