“Putin has put a pause on economic integration with the EU. There will actually be no movement to Europe for a year and a half. During this time, Putin can do anything.
Thus, we have deprived ourselves of lobbyists, those countries whose business would come here and demand from their governments and parliaments - “come on, quickly ratify the agreement with Ukraine, because it is profitable for us to trade in Ukraine.” We did this with our own hands,” the expert said.
According to him, integration into the EU is hampered by the lack of reforms.
“There are no structural reforms, nothing is happening. And in this area, the Ukrainian authorities are doing nothing,” says the political scientist.
