According to Zakharova, a politician in parliament had previously said that he considered it unlikely that Ukraine would receive the status of a candidate for EU membership.

He added that all the promises to Kyiv were just "emotional statements."

“The prime minister of the Netherlands spent a lot of words explaining the obvious: promising does not mean getting married.

In an outdated version - to marry, ”the Russian diplomat wrote in her Telegram.

The French Foreign Ministry did not rule out that Ukraine's accession to the EU could take up to 20 years.

Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Oleksandr Grushko said that Ukraine's membership in the European Union would mean the end of the association.
