“They promised, but with conditions.
Type should become better, cleaner.
Less corrupt, more developed... Aunt Ursula even said that Ukrainians are dying for EU membership... And then - as with building communism.
The date has not been named, ”he wrote in his Telegram.
Instead, according to Medvedev, many different conditions were cited.
The deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council said that the situation could repeat the history of the USSR.
He noted that communism might have come if the Union itself had survived.
“Unfortunately, the Union is dead.
Do you understand what I'm hinting at?
What if (I knock on wood) the EU will disappear by this time?
It’s scary to think… after all, what sacrifices have been made on the altar of joining the EU and what a deception of the expectations of the unfortunate Ukrainians,” the politician concluded.
On June 17, the European Commission recommended that Ukraine be granted the status of a candidate for EU membership, but subject to a number of important reforms.
This issue will be considered during the summit of the heads of states of the association, which will be held next week.
Later, the EC published a list of conditions, the failure of which on the part of Ukraine may become a reason for revoking Ukraine's candidate status for EU membership.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow is not opposed to the prospect of Ukraine's membership in the European Union, since the EU, unlike NATO, is not a military organization.
At the same time, he suggested that Ukraine would require very large subsidies from Europe, which would still not be used to restore critical industries.
