In a recent statement at the Munich Security Conference, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas reiterated that EU member states are not prepared to commit to a specific timeline for Ukraine's EU membership, despite President Volodymyr Zelensky's insistence on needing a date as part of security guarantees in peace negotiations with Russia. Kallas expressed, "My feeling is that the member states are not ready to give a concrete date," highlighting the ongoing hesitance among EU governments regarding Ukraine's accession. This sentiment reflects a broader concern about the feasibility of Zelensky's proposed 2027 membership target, which many EU officials deem 'unrealistic.'
