Shocking words about Ukraine from former EU leader

Former European Commission President Juncker said in his statement to the newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine Zeitung that “false promises should not be made to the people of Ukraine, who are suffering up to their necks.”

Juncker stated that he was very angry with those in Europe who said that Ukraine could immediately become a member of the EU and stated that this would not be good for either the EU or Ukraine.

“UKRAINE IS A COUNTRY INFECTED WITH CORRUPTION”

“Anyone who has dealt with Ukraine knows that it is a country whose society is corrupt at all levels,” Juncker said. Despite all efforts, he is not ready for EU membership. Important internal reform processes are needed. We have had bad experiences with some of the new EU members, for example regarding the rule of law. “This should not happen again.” he said.

Underlining that Ukraine’s European perspective, which defends European values, must be preserved, but “this should not be associated with the hope that this will happen overnight by pressing a button,” Juncker emphasized that it would not be right for Ukraine will be quickly admitted to the EU.
