German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Wednesday ruled out 2027 as the target date for Ukraine’s EU accession.
We have told the Americans that "Ukraine's accession on January 1, 2027, is out of the question. It is not possible. All members—including Ukraine—who wish to join the European Union at a later date must meet the Copenhagen criteria,” Merz said at a press briefing in Berlin.
