Lithuania has called for Ukraine to be admitted to the EU by 2030
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys called on allies to support Ukraine’s full membership in the European Union by 2030 following yet another Russian attack.
According to him, Ukraine should become a full member of the EU by 2030.
The Lithuanian minister was reacting to Russia’s latest massive attack on Ukraine, which took place on the night of August 20.
He pointed out that the Kremlin is not even considering the possibility of ending the war.
All the Russians are doing right now is continuing to kill Ukraine’s civilian population.
Against this backdrop, he reiterated how important it is to do everything possible to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense, as well as to increase military, energy, and financial support for Kyiv.
Budris believes that strong sanctions pressure on Russia’s war machine can indeed stop it.
“We must also fully integrate Ukraine into Euro-Atlantic and European structures, starting with full EU membership by 2030. Ukraine’s place is in the European family, and its path toward European and Euro-Atlantic integration must remain our strategic priority,” the Lithuanian foreign minister emphasized.
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys made this statement, citing his post on X.
A new statement was issued in Brussels regarding Ukraine’s accession to the EU.
On July 22, the EU will again attempt to unblock negotiations on Ukraine’s accession.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk criticized statements by representatives of the Law and Justice (PiS) party regarding a possible blocking of Ukraine’s European integration. He called such calls “idiotic” and contrary to Poland’s interests.
Ukraine has officially opened the sixth cluster of negotiations on accession to the European Union. This is the “External Relations” cluster, which is the last of the six negotiation clusters on the path to EU membership.
