The European Union has taken a significant step towards expanding its membership (and to pour some more oil on the fire). Ambassadors from all 27 EU countries have agreed to commence accession negotiations with Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova. The announcement was made by Belgium's EU Council presidency via the social media platform X. The first intergovernmental conferences are scheduled for June 25.

The two most corrupt nations in the Eurozone seem like great candidates. I can't imagine why the other nations would reject them.

I admit that I am a Eurosceptic and I see flaws in this project, both on the side of the candidates and on the side of the hosts: Let's start with the candidates, these have several: 1. These are nations with high corruption that can spread to other European countries, leading to monopolies and unfavorable decisions. 2. the problem on Ukraine's side is its food power, Ukraine is a food power, this food can feed the whole of Europe, which means that due to production costs, Ukraine can eliminate European agriculture, well, what are the problems on the part of those who want to accept these countries 1. Failure to pursue a sound economic policy, which may lead to the impoverishment of Europeans at the expense of the candidates 2. The European Union wants to admit a country at war, therefore they want to admit a destabilized country, Europe has so many problems that this destabilization may increase 3. The EU has recently been going down the path of federalism and the transformation of this institutions into a superstate is a threat that takes away sovereignty and limits the power of citizens.
