During his visit to Ukraine on 20 April, European Council President Charles Michel said that the European Commission would publish its opinion on Ukraine’s accession by the end of June and that in the meantime the EU would continue to support the country – financially, militarily and with sanctions against Russia.
“Usually, it takes eight months for the Commission to publish an opinion,” noticed Michel. “Then it will be my responsibility to assess when I can put this point on the agenda of the European Council and the Council, to make sure that we have the political discussion to make progress on this.”
