Ukraine can go from EU candidate to full member in a year or two.

“We can do it with the support of our friends in the European Union much faster. I would love to see it happen in a year or two, however, I might just be too optimistic,” said Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Foreign Affairs Oleksandr Merezhko. He noted that the average time from application to full membership in the EU is four and a half years. According to him, this depends entirely on Ukraine and its steps towards reform. There are also some objective issues that the West is paying attention to, “this is our victory over the Russian aggressor state.”
