Ukraine’s full EU membership might take 15 or 20 years.

French Minister for European Affairs Clement Bonn believes that the process of Ukraine’s accession to the European Union may take up to 20 years, reported LeFigaro.fr. “You have to be honest… If we say that Ukraine will join the EU in 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years, we are lying. This is not true. It is probably 15 or 20 years, and it is very long,” Bon said.  He added, “I don’t want Ukrainians to be sold illusions and lies. If we say to Ukrainians, ‘Welcome to the EU,’ but you didn’t read in the treaty, in the footnote, ‘Hello, it’s 15 years from now,’ I think there will be a disappointment for a whole generation of the Ukrainian people.”
