Under the “reversed” model envisioned by the Commission, Ukraine would become a formal member of the EU but without access to the majority of associated benefits, such as voting rights, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and cohesion funds.
This reminds me of reversed Russian gas that was supplied to Ukraine. Everything is reversed and half assed when it comes to Ukraine. And Ukraine’s EU integration has always been nothing but hype. It was a lie since 1998 or even earlier to be honest, and people have called it out many years ago already. Ukraine will never become a member of the EU, unless the EU breaks with its own rules, which would speak the eventual end of the latter. In fact, increasing expansion of the EU only adds to the myriad of controversies the bloc has amassed. And perhaps in the future, the EU idea will experience unravelling under the weight of differences between nations and clamor for more autonomy.
