Kuleba commented on Macron's statement on the timing of the possible admission of Ukraine to the EU

“Three months ago, this country (Ukraine. -

) did not even have the prospect of membership.

Now they are discussing how long it will take, ”Kuleba said in an interview with the Financial Times.

He added that if Ukraine does not receive the status of a candidate member of the European Union, this will mean that "Europe is trying to deceive" Kyiv, and Ukraine will not tolerate this.

Earlier, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that the EU could discuss the issue of Ukraine obtaining the status of a candidate for joining the European Union in June.
