He also stressed the need to establish a clear membership date.<\/p>\n At the same time, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen noted that it is currently impossible to set specific timelines for Ukraine’s accession. However, she emphasized that Ukraine is on a “good path” to membership.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The EU claims that Ukraine’s accession is impossible without peace and reforms.
