EU Should Grant Ukraine Membership: Von Der Leyen, En attendant Godot

The European Union should enlarge and absorb Ukraine into its structure, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has argued in her 2023 State of the Union address.

The official claimed that the move would not necessarily require amendment of the Treaties of the European Union, the legal basis for the bloc’s existence, RT reported.

In her speech in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France on Wednesday, Von der Leyen stressed that Brussels is faced with the historic task of “completing our Union,” before proclaiming that the “future of Ukraine is in our Union.”

The European Commission president insisted that the bloc “cannot afford to leave our fellow Europeans behind,” apparently referring to Ukrainians.

“In a world where size and weight matters, it is clearly in Europe’s strategic and security interests to complete our Union,” the official concluded.
