European Commission

A defining moment for Europe. 🇪🇺🤝🇲🇩🇺🇦

All EU countries have now agreed to open the first accession negotiations cluster with Ukraine and Moldova.

Today, we're launching talks on the backbone of the accession process: including justice, freedom, and fundamental rights.

We've seen the hard work these countries have put in, and we are rewarding it with a clear path forward.

Enlargement is our strategic choice. Our best investment in a shared future of peace, security and prosperity

@EUCommission wie soll das Funktionieren so lange wir mit viel Geld Russland unterstützen und den Krieg so finanzieren, ach ja ich weiss Profite gehen über alles da reicht es das man Symbole zeiugen kann und ich möchte daran erinnern das auch Länder der EU der Ukraine Sicherheitsgarantien gegeben haben als diese auf die Atomwaffen verzichtet haben. die Ukraine wartet bis heute das diese Garantien greifen.

@EUCommission Before enlarging further, may I suggest removing all veto powers and replace them with qualified majority requirements? Even just statistically, unanimous agreements are always less probable as the set of voters increases. One stubborn participant and we're paralyzed.

@EUCommission HUR-RAY. I'm so glad. Now throw a bunch of drones on the crap outside the WH.

Hit the balling room and ensure the bunker for the weaklings is totally inaccessible. I'mma hoping ...

Show threadAssimilateborg2d ago
@EUCommission I hope you dump more drone production capabilities to ukraine so that they can have 1 drone per minute built and hitting russia. That is 1440 Drones per day, every day.
10080 drones per week.
43200 drones per month.
Do it!

@rzeta0 @EUCommission
Granted, I haven’t recently checked the politics of Moldova or Ukraine. And a lot of our democracies don’t smell like roses.
But Turkiye hasn’t exactly been a democratic stronghold lately :/

@EUCommission but when will the EU countries achieve justice, freedom, and fundamental rights?

@EUCommission
A very good step forward.
By the time all chapters are done, the war will be over and Transdnistria will be a regular part of Moldova.
Show threadhallunke23 🇺🇦2d ago

I wouldn't be so sure about that. My guess is that the frozen Transnistria conflict will remain frozen and Moldova will join with Transnistria remaining under occupation.

I'm more curious how the present war/occupation situation in Ukraine is going to fit in with EU's defense framework. I doubt that Ukraine will be allowed to claim a collective defense case for Putin's ongoing invasion. An approach that might work might be to exclude part of Ukraine from EU military

military protection while the rest of Ukraine would be protected by EU military.

@EUCommission can you elaborate on how this is going to work?

@hallunke23 @EUCommission
It will take time, is my main thought on how my ideas on it will be possible.
Estonia did a very clean and quick negotiation and ascension. First chapters opened in 1998. Final ones done in 2002. Membership in 2004.
Moldova managing to make Transdnistria fall through economic pressure in 4 years with TD being cut off from Russia? I hope that is possible and will happen.
Ukraine winning the war with full liberation of all territories by 2030? Seems possible to me, too.
Show threadGurre Vildskägg2d ago
@hallunke23 @EUCommission and if they haven't both won by then I'd want membership to wait(!) Until that have restored territorial integrity. No new (frozen) land disputes for the EU, please. Bad enough Cyprus is in one.

Inwpuld libe that when both countries get into the EU, that moldova gets a right of passage to have a port at the sea.
That's things the EU can do.
Or even a moldova/romania/ukraine port.
