Juncker Proposes Partial EU Membership for Ukraine

Former EU Commission President suggests a gradual approach to Ukrainian integration due to unresolved issues.

Jean-Claude Juncker, former EU Commission President, recommends a 'partial membership' model for Ukraine's EU integration.
Juncker emphasizes that full EU membership for Ukraine is unlikely in the near future due to ongoing issues such as corruption and rule of law.
The concept of partial membership would allow Ukraine to participate in EU policies and meetings without voting rights.
Ukraine's EU membership application was submitted in February 2022, with official negotiations starting in June 2024.
Juncker stresses the importance of supporting Ukraine while acknowledging the challenges of immediate full membership.
