This opinion was expressed in an interview with Metro by the notorious adviser to Minister Avakov, Anton Gerashchenko.
The journalist asked his question as follows:
“Remember, Zhirinovsky said in a telephone conversation with you: “Ukraine will never get into Europe.” You objected to him heatedly. But recently in Riga we were told again: the EU countries are not ready to discuss the issue of Ukraine’s membership…”.
“Promises that “in 2-3 years we will be in Europe and NATO” are, of course, nonsense. It will take 10-15-20 years to join the EU. Why? Certain economic standards must be achieved. In addition, we need the desire of Europe itself to accept Ukraine into its ranks. It is still “digesting” a dozen new members – obstinate ones capable of blocking the EU’s decision,” – Anton Gerashchenko answered.
Gerashchenko did not specify how Ukraine could survive these 20 years, having completely severed all economic and social ties with Russia.
