The director of the Ukrainian Institute of System Analysis and Policy Management, Ruslan Bortnik, spoke about this at a press conference in Kiev, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent, according to whom, the process of granting Ukraine a visa-free regime with the EU could last for years “and even tens of years”, since for Whether or not such a status is obtained or not is extremely important is the number of people willing to leave and create difficulties for the EU.
“Just the other day I was talking with my Belgian colleagues,” the political scientist said. – They view Ukraine as a kind of migration bomb, because from our country five to ten million people can emigrate if there are opportunities for this. Compared to this, the trickle of Syrian refugees (a million a year) will seem like mere flowers. Therefore, despite our implementation of all plans, technical barriers will remain or new ones will be created, and there is no need to talk about a visa-free regime for Ukraine next year.”
