Ruslan Stefanchuk, the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, warned in France that if Ukraine does not receive a signal regarding its EU membership prospects by the end of June, Putin will.

Stefanchuk made a corresponding comment on the French television programme BFMTV.

“It is very important for us at the end of June, on the 24th, to receive a clear signal to the people of Ukraine that their struggle is not in vain, that the sacrifices that Ukrainians make today at the altar of their European prospects, the lives they give for the European values, they are heard in Europe. If there is no such signal, Putin will receive this signal. And every European country leader should bear this in mind too,” Stefanchuk said.

According to reports, the European Commission will issue a conclusion awarding Ukraine candidate status for EU membership, after which the EU Council will decide on Ukraine’s candidacy at a meeting on June 23-24.

The European Commission’s view on Ukraine’s compliance with the Copenhagen Criteria for EU membership, according to Ihor Zhovkva, Deputy Head of the President’s Office of Ukraine, will be released this week or early next.
