Macron does not support Ukraine’s accession to the EU.

French President Emmanuel Macron does not support Ukraine’s accession to the EU. “Can we open the accession procedure with a country that is in a state of war? I don’t think so,” Macron said. At the same time, he said he wants to send a “strong signal” to Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova, as the three countries have recently applied for membership. Earlier this week, the Baltic Assembly, made up of parliamentarians from Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia adopted a statement of support for granting Ukraine official candidate status with the prospect of full membership in the European Union.
