+The Al Show No it's literal. EU membership is not a gym card. It takes time. There are reforms required, institutions that need to be created. There is an entire process of economic and institutional integration with the European economy and institutions. Ukraine's main issues are corruption and lack of independence of justice - those two are 2 of the most important things that need to change to be accepted in the EU. So the whole process takes years. It took 5 years for Romania, it took 8 years for Croatia. Turkey has been on the waiting list since the late 80s. Is even harder for Ukraine which is at war. Those are not things that can be arbitrarily decided or changed by the members. They are part of EU treaties. Every country in the world abides by a Constitution, the EU abides by a set of treaties and a book of laws.
It shows every country is for itself, be it in EU and the NATO. Just look at UN too. All these groupings are good on paper and during good times and not during challenging times.
@Hodgepodge I agree with you but you have to consider the source bro. 😉 India was one of the few countries that refused to call Russia out on their bullshit despite the fact that Russia has resorted to killing civilians to try to force them to capitulate. Even China backed away from Russia but India is quietly backing Russia. It's kind of sad really. 😔
@@SeeLasSee thank you! If India was doing anything to help or support ukraine then their words might carry some weight but as it is it means less than nothing.
This war will not end until both (Russia) and Ukraine have a mutually beneficial agreement acceptable to all which is not acceptable to Europe becoz if this was the scenario there won't be any war and war funding mechanism for USA and NATO to weaken Russia.

Dumb dumb Palki. Betrayal? It's called restraining for the good of the entire world! She wants to be edgy and brave, but she forgot to also must still use her brain!
Regular citizens of Russia supports Ukraine much more, in fact they have one history and cross country relationship between people. But that's not the point. Point is Russia has more interest in the prosperity of Ukraine while West just used Ukraine for its benefit and to poke Russia. West is the playing with the blood of Ukrainians.

I partially agree with Wion on this one. That said, they have downplayed the potential negative implications of NATA going to war with Russia. Generally Wion is more balanced in their perspectives.
Really? So you think the world should sit back and allow Putin to decimate Ukraine? Russia should have already been bombed. They will not use nuclear weapons. It's a bluff.

there's 0 reason to get Ukraine into the eu without them fulfilling the requirements. Not fair to the others that have been waiting for years. Also eu isnt a defensive alliance, Nato is.
Only idiots here can’t see that. They don’t talk about the EU countries that have taken thousands of people into there country. No news of Asian countries helping out.
True, it would be disrespectful to thoes other countries that want to join. The truth is, how quickly or slowly a country can join the EU is really up to the country in question, how quickly they are really to make the reforms needed to the political and economic system. The EU isn't like the UN where they let anyone in or the African Union which is trying to let everyone in but it's a mess because there is little incentive for the countries to do any real change, the EU makes sure the countries that want to join are on a fast track in becoming a democracy and modern economy, hence why there are problems with Hungary and Poland at the moment, because they are backsliding on that. Clearly, a lot of people don't seem to understand how the EU works, it's nothing like NATO or the UN, it's actually closer to something like the US union but in the making.
What happened to Ukraine is like this: a group of people saw a man being attacked by mad dogs, but because the man was not part of their league, instead of helping him, they throw a stick to him, for him to defend himself from the attacking mad dogs, then leave because they were late for a meeting
The actual story is that the group of men first handed a bone to another man standing close to a mad dog. The mad dog seeing the bone attacked.. then the group of men who caused the situation fled the scene handing a stick to the man being attacked asking him to fight by himself.
EU and US are literally giving billions to help Ukraine survive and recover. It's been clear even before the start that war with Russia over Ukraine wasn't a line anyone was willing to cross. Putin's points about NATO endangering Russia are false and EU has been consistent in this. Joining EU means Ukraine can activate Article 42 which can effectively start a nuclear war in which Billions will die. You should be happy EU is being level-headed.

People are taking EU side now but were angry on India when we thought about our interest and abstained UN voting. EU is for itself just like India is for itself. EU not allowing Ukraine in NATO is actually good for their own people and their is nothing wrong in having your own stance and be selfish but they should also respect other interest like India .
India never encouraged Ukraine to join an organisation ( NATO) which Russia consider a possible threat nor that it want Ukraine to ally with Russia .So it’s not the responsibility of India and is wise to abstain when such hypocrisy is showed by NATO nations
You do realise the EU and NATO have nothing to do with one another, right? The only relationship they have is that except for Canada and the US all the NATO countries are European, as are all EU countries, but that's where the comparison ends. Many European NATO countries aren't even in the EU for example, such as the UK, Norway, and Turkey.
Why do people not understand. EU and NATO are totally different bodies. NATO includes states also outside of Europe like the USA and is a DEFENSE ALLIANCE. European Union is an economic union. And aside from that. EU is fully within their rights to reject Ukraine membership as they simply do not fulfill any of the required criteria. India is fully within their right to stay neutral in this conflict as it has nothing to do with them. They are doing the best thing by staying out of it. Its best for India and they should continue to do so. The only ones to blame here are NATO who played with the Ukraine and used them as their pawn for their own interests, promising them something before and then not keeping their word.
To clarify: EU and NATO are totally different things. Yes they have mishandled the NATO thing with telling Ukraine it will be welcome in the future, that was definitely misguided by NATO. But EU the European Union never made such a promise they always said "in the future perhaps" as in if they meet the criteria. There is lots of economical points that you have to meet in regards to economical stability national debt inflation and so forth and political as well, Ukraine is not even close to meeting these criteria. You will also not get your drivers license if you don´t pass the test. And EU membership would not help Ukraine anyways in their current situation, it is an economic union not a defense or military alliance. NATO played with Ukraine. The European Union did not.
NATO chart says, "If one member is attacked, all members will join the fight." That means if Ukraine becomes a NATO member, all other members will have to fight Russia. Imagine what would happen to Europe if that occured!
@DorelKongo Relax, after Ukraine, Russia will come for Poland and other Baltic States, and let's see how NATO would react, will they turn their backs on Poland which is a NATO country for fear of Nuclear Armaggedon as threatened by Putin and Russia or will they stick to their NATO charter? Only time will tell, and I'm holding my breathe.
@@urstynho5887 That will NOT happen. I suggest you study the history of events since WW2 and all the Treaties and Agreements that were signed between all the Parties concerned.

Any country can provide any aid (weapon or medicine) based on friendship, no prior agreement is required for that. Even India can provide arms and medicine to Ukraine, if we want to, no agreement required. NATO is helping Ukraine, because it acts as shield to other European countries. (Jus check the map)

As per a news report that I watched earlier, being a member of EU would require a lot of spending on meeting the union's norms in several areas, including infrastructure. That report further stated that some of the smaller EU members are struggling with the cost of membership. So the question is will Ukraine be able to afford the membership. Also it seems like Zelensky is doing his own version of blackmailing the EU.
Correct. Ukraine simply does not even fill out the Copenhagen criteria at the moment. Zelensky used this as a political stunt. Well-done actually in my opinion, he grabbed the chance and gave it a go, but some fast-track program was never a true possibility. One just needed to google criteria for the EU membership to see that.
Thank you for this clarification, some countries did 10 to 15 or more years to be part of nato or the EU. And let's not forget that there's still a lot of corruption in Ukraine and Ukraine agriculture alone would not survive the rules. Not even the mining industry and safety in construction.. the paperwork alone would have to chance. It's like bringing your business to the stock market. Why isn't wion doing this research before making it an issue. Makes you wonder how "independent " are they really. A critical view is a good thing but lately I'm feeling they just throw things on UA-cam to be edgy with no purpose other than views..
You have to love 💘 Palki. She tells it like it is and doesn't sugar coat the truth! She would probably make a better world leader than the idiots in Europe.

its about the hypocrisy ''we are doing everything we can to help'' more like ''we want to look like good guys to our people,the real help ? what are we charity ?'' Also Nato is a military alliance... EU is not.
@Dr. xyz "my" leaders ? get your head out of your ass. Don't assume things you don't know nothing about. Ukraine WANTED to be part of Nato, to be protected. To join NATO, EVERY country needs to sort its shit out and meet hundreds of specific conditions. Ukraine isn't the only country that's been waiting for the membership for ages. It's not like joining a book club. As far as I know, the elections of the guy previously elected were as much as "democratic" as Lukashenko's elections were, or Putin's. Democracy and Communism don't really go hand in hand. He was literally Putin's puppet.. And why Putin got pissed off. Which messed with his plan to revive the "great USSR" that he's been talking about 15 years ago. Hence why he was overthrown by new real democratic elections. coming from a country with a previously communist regiment, I can tell you that such thing, as "democratic elections" never happened. you gotta be brutally naive or dumb to believe in democracy in communism.

No, neither Germany or France have ever supported Ukraine to join NATO. And about European union, neither. That were always the usa and UK alone, and UK is not even in the EU
Ukraine has backers for the EU, especially in East and Central Europe. But Ukraine's current situation doesn't change is reality. Ukraine is a very corrupt country with a pretty questionable level of democracy. There are a lot of reforms to be done, and institutions to create before talking membership. And in fact, at Versailles, the EU leaders decided to accept and forward Ukraine's application for review, which come faster than Ukraine could have ever hoped before the war. What was rejected, was the fast track membership.
@@aloysiusprasetyo3737 I don’t think anyone is promising a fast track to Zelensky. I think he wants to join EU because NATO isn’t an option right now. I think he’s hoping someone else will join the fight against Russia
People keep mixing up European union and NATO as if they were one and the same thing. When they are totally separate institutions. NATO includes states also outside of Europe like the USA and is a DEFENSE ALLIANCE. European Union is an economic union. Several European countries are part of EU and not part of NATO, think Austria, Sweden, Ireland. There are also countries in Europe that are not part of the EU, example would be Switzerland, or now also the UK. EU is fully within their rights to reject Ukraine membership as they simply do not fulfill any of the required criteria.

@@Ewig_Luftenglanz For their own interests. It's in their interest to continue the war and inflict economic damage to Russia, even if it means Ukraine is completely flattened.
We have long seen this coming. Ukraine has a lot of economic domestic problems that it cannot fit the requirement for EU like corruptions and a lot others. NATO cannot accept Ukraine so fast because they have contested regional friction with other Nation. Apparently, they are also at war right now which made issue of membership even more complicated. Other than that, Logistical and administrative matters does not permit such action to be done overnight just like what the EU member told us in the interview. It is to be expected, if anything its a miscalculation for the Ukraine to expect them to help. EU is a very cautious organization after all. Of course its also the NATO's fault for pushing them too far and the EU fault for not reminding them earlier that EU membership cannot be easily given.

And the possibility of Russia join NATO is zero even though Putin had made efforts to join five times in the past because if Russia join NATO then which country can the US sell their weapons to, they have to keep Russia in the open so those capital countries and the US itself can profit from each other for being capitalized opposing to communism.

Western Balkans have been waiting to become eu members for decades. No one enters the block until you become a well developed and democratic country and dont become a liability for them
Romania and Bulgaria joined despite being poor. Slovenia entered no problem and Croatia had a war which stifled development so it lagged behind. It's about establishing rule of law, regulations and functional multi-party elections. North Macedonia is getting close. Albania is barely functional, Montenegro was a quasi-dictatorship(but getting better) and Serbia has a lot of issues but was making progress before their leadership decided to mess it up. Bosnia can just break apart any minute now. Issue with Turkey is that it has been backsliding for decades now so it's actually losing progress.
It is not just developed, then every country has a veto and we have a history in balkan - every neighboring country one by one are adding condition. One of this condition was to change the name of the state. We have changed name, now there is another for the language ?!? it is absurd. Hoping that you will be accepted that easily is very naive.
@@TheLordboki Romania and Bulgaria may jave been poorer by western standards but the can not be compared with wb. A lot has changed since last enlargement.

Even took a massive juridical reform that no other nation has done and even wasnt done before in the world and being noted from many academics like experiment in Albania their government obliged. North Macedonia changed its name for gods sake and still is blocked by Bulgaria over a dispute for their language and history. Serbia and Montenegro are a little bit more developed and in front line to become a new member but Serbia has an issue to resolve with kosovo and Montenegro is going through government replacement one afer another. It will be a long ride before they all join, if that ever happens.
I finally understand Russia's strategy. Make Ukraine so poor by destroying its infrastructure and destabilizing it that the EU would never consider admitting it because the EU would not want to be responsible for financing its rebuilding programme or hosting a flood of Ukrainian refugees permanently.

What nonsense are you saying. Nobody is leaving NATO. And they had no reason to intervene as in boots on the ground as Ukraine is no official member. Having said that, I agree that they played with Ukraine dangling membership over their heads for the selfish interests of members like the USA.
Recent past and present leaders of Ukraine should have read Sun Tzu: "We cannot enter into alliances until we are acquainted with the designs of our neighbors"
Joining EU isn't going to ensure its short term future either. It's getting massive financial support from both EU and US. Europeans will also likely agree to foot the bill for Ukraine's recovery, but joining EU right now this very moment is pointless since the country may not exist in a few months, and giving it instant accession will just pull Europe into a war it isn't nearly ready for.
EU instant accession isn't even possible. Membership is not given arbitrarily by EU members. Is given according to EU treaties and laws. Ukraine needs to fulfill a set of conditions and needs to start the process of integration even before becoming a member.

Palki Sharma , so true. Typical Euro-American betrayal. Nothing more. Nothing less. This Euro-American attitude is typical.. Sadly, people and nations become victims of such dishonest policies again and again. I salute you for your journalistic bravery at its best. I adore your vlogs.
India never promised anything. From the start India took a neutral approach unlike these Western sycophants who were shouting from the rooftops encouraging a standoff between Ukraine and Russia. They should all have kept quiet.
giving Ukraine an immediate membership of NATO will automatically involve whole EU into conflict. I don't think it's a betrayal but a wise decision. It's easy to say that one is brave and the other one is coward, but think about the consequences. What happen to Ukraine cannot blame to Russia alone, Blame the west and NATO itself for containing other nation around the globe with conflicting interest with them. That is the west long time strategy, to extend sphere of influence across the globe, and for what? Global dominance!!
Yes but did the West clearly explain this to the Ukrainian Government? Something on the lines of "We are unlikely to let you join NATO and will not commit our militaries to fight for you. EU membership may be a distant possibility but there are no guarantees." I suspect nothing this clear was enunciated on purpose - and things were left open to interpretation. The reason, I suspect, is because the West did not want Ukraine to compromise with Russia - which Ukraine would probably have done if the West had been clear and honest. I think this is one of the main tragedies of the war.
Or is just that not joining any block is a condition for Russia stopping the aggression, is not clear what the result of the war is, and we shouldn't make things worse for them by making Putin even more paranoid. If Ukraine loses and we are going on for bringing Ukraine into the EU, that could escalate more, it could even end up with a permanent military occupation of Ukraine. If Russia loses, it would be easier for Ukraine to work towards membership.
Yes, because the EU is not a help or welfare organisation, and has never claimed to be that, either. All countries in the EU had to meet certain requirements to join, and some countries, like Turkey for instance, have not met them yet and have already been waiting to be able join for years. Letting Ukraine in right now would not only be damaging to the EU, it would also be absolutely unfair.
@@ASmith-jn7kf I agree with you.They could have not joined sadly, because it poses a risk to every other nation in EU. EU has free passage on their territory, Ukraine had large amounts of russian separatists who do what russia asks for. They would act like cancer, destroying the EU from inside, leaking info to russia, sabotage and all their specialties... Before they can join, they have to prove they can handle corruption among other things, which was out of hand. You need to prove you can keep your country in tact then you can join the block where everyone moves freely. One rotten apple makes more rotten apples, you know how it goes... Hope it cleared up things for you :)

@ Hodgepodge, instead of blaming others, why don't you go to Ukraine and fight. You're just a bitter keyboard warrior. It's easy to give excuses, send weapons and cheer from the sidelines while a country gets anhilated. You're not doing the fighting, Ukraine is. EU and NATO membership? Do you think both parties didn't know the outcome, how long it would take to join, and possible repercussions?
We have provided Ukraine with billions and billions of euros worth of support and pivotal intel. Ukrainian forces know where and when to ambush Russian supply convoys, because they are in close contact with western intelligence. Europe has accepted millions of refugees with open arms. On top of that over 22,000 western volunteers are ready to give up their lives for Ukraine. Yet "we" just stand up and clap. You do understand we are trying to help them without starting a 3rd world war...
@ Victor M, you are not helping at all but inflaming the situation. By giving weapons and ammunition, you are already provoking it. Russia has already encircled the capital. This is not Vietnam or Afghanistan, battles are taking place in urban areas. It is the Ukrainians who are dying and families being dispersed. Unlike Iraq and in Syria, the West don't want to enter the conflict of fear of catastrophe. They are only happy in support but nothing else. The you see the EU leaders laughing while Zelensky gets stressed. That's support for you.
This will served as a lecture for those nations whose die hard on the WEST. Never depend your country on the west but instead forge an army that can strike hard when needed
Another lesson is also not to provoke your neighbor when given a chance... If you check the history, Ukraine was the one who did not want to renew the non aggression pact with Russia in 2018... Instead, they tried to join NATO which will piss of Russia as joining NATO is a security treat to Russia which Russia highlighted many times and years ago..
Congratulations to the entire WION Team, your reporting has balance and I feel your journalism standards are pretty great. Please maintain the standard.
If EU would allow Ukraine to join "the team", it would turn itself into a IIIWW - no one want's this scenario to happen, think twice, they are already pumping bilions of dollars into Ukraine (which is a good thing), by supplying war-tech. This is not as easy as: sure, let's join the fight - consequences could be disastrous. Behind the stage connections, deals, dependencies as very strong here, hence it's not as easy as we may think. I would love to see this happening, I mean saving Ukraine by sending Armies from all the EU countries, but this would empose an astronomical risk to us all. We have to keep on doing what we're doing right now to stop this ASAP, as innocent people are dying - I really believe that this conflict will end soon. Help is on it's way nonetheless - there's stuff happening about which we do not know... "troops" are on their way to support Ukraine.
hoe the "troops" won't run into "logistics difficulties" like the jets did. God bless Ukraine, fight the good fight. Don't ever surrender until every last one of you is dead.
As long as you don't understand the underlying issues and what's being talked about then you are ignorant of what the EU is doing compared of what most people think what the EU is doing..
It is because we care that we want to avoid war especially that which does not need to be fought in the first place. Dragging this to other countries would be like pouring gas on fire.
I live in the "west" (UK) and I watch Palky and quite often. I really enjoy the fact that her and WION sometimes offer a slightly different view of the world, one that may not be presented on western media, often finding myself in agreement with it. However, I would like to offer my opinion on this specific subject, and my opinion is that the assessment, as presented on this video, is quite unfair. Not offering Ukraine fast-track membership to the EU is not equivalent to having them go their merry way and fend for themselves. I would dare to say that everyone, and I mean everyone would want to see Ukraine in the EU (citizens and politicians alike), especially after all the struggle they have been through in order to be able to make that choice for themselves. The EU, though, is a complex organisation with a lot of requirements, a lot of which Ukraine would objectively fail to meet and would most probably not be able to adapt to meet in a period of a couple of months (or couple of years, for that matter). If Ukraine was just dropped in the EU as a member, one of these two things would most probably happen, either Ukraine would have trouble functioning properly and torture themselves as well as all the other EU members in the process for a long period of time, or Ukraine would fail, blame the EU for it and then exit. The correct approach would be to initially offer Ukraine with the full support they have earned, but as an _independent state_. Offer them some sort of an arrangement in the form of a customs union (or something in that fashion), coming along with support/rebuild funds and some sort of an extension of the EU security boundary so they can feel safe and then offer them guidelines on how they could get onto the path of becoming a state that would be able to harmoniously integrate into the EU, should they choose to do so. Essentially, embrace them for who and what they are, help them stand on their feet and then show them what they would need to change if they really wanted to eventually join, and if, having all the knowledge, they chose to do so, then and only then help them on their journey towards integration. This is the only arrangement that would actually work, in the short term as well as in the long term. Rejecting them would be unfair and just dropping them in would be dysfunctional, hence the "friend" (rather than "member") option would be the best initial option, the option with the least pain and the most joy. At least that is my personal view on this subject.
In that case atleast west should not give false promises to Ukraine. Just go with the videos of western leaders how they supported ukriane to poke Russia... That's the reason for all of these. Everyone knows Ukraine not able to make into nato or EU, but why poking Russia then? Ukriane is betrayed by all western nations (so called superpowers) and now feeling the heat

14 years for European UNION Or NATO is overnight.... Poor comedian JELESKY, NATO made his comedy on the cost of UKRAINE people
+The Al Show No it's literal. EU membership is not a gym card. It takes time. There are reforms required, institutions that need to be created. There is an entire process of economic and institutional integration with the European economy and institutions. Ukraine's main issues are corruption and lack of independence of justice - those two are 2 of the most important things that need to change to be accepted in the EU. So the whole process takes years. It took 5 years for Romania, it took 8 years for Croatia. Turkey has been on the waiting list since the late 80s. Is even harder for Ukraine which is at war. Those are not things that can be arbitrarily decided or changed by the members. They are part of EU treaties. Every country in the world abides by a Constitution, the EU abides by a set of treaties and a book of laws.
@@davidgreen5994 I agree with you entirely. Europe's decision is the right one.

there's 0 reason to get Ukraine into the eu without them fulfilling the requirements. Not fair to the others that have been waiting for years. Also eu isnt a defensive alliance, Nato is.
@@deaczorz good point 👍
You can’t expect Ukraine to be fast tracked while other countries are still waiting / hoping to join
Only idiots here can’t see that. They don’t talk about the EU countries that have taken thousands of people into there country. No news of Asian countries helping out.
True, it would be disrespectful to thoes other countries that want to join.
The truth is, how quickly or slowly a country can join the EU is really up to the country in question, how quickly they are really to make the reforms needed to the political and economic system.
The EU isn't like the UN where they let anyone in or the African Union which is trying to let everyone in but it's a mess because there is little incentive for the countries to do any real change, the EU makes sure the countries that want to join are on a fast track in becoming a democracy and modern economy, hence why there are problems with Hungary and Poland at the moment, because they are backsliding on that.
Clearly, a lot of people don't seem to understand how the EU works, it's nothing like NATO or the UN, it's actually closer to something like the US union but in the making.
What happened to Ukraine is like this: a group of people saw a man being attacked by mad dogs, but because the man was not part of their league, instead of helping him, they throw a stick to him, for him to defend himself from the attacking mad dogs, then leave because they were late for a meeting
Ukraine didn't learn from Georgia, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia etc...Zelensky was tricked and now left to die...as simple as that
The US and NATO only used Ukraine, then they washed their hands and left.
The actual story is that the group of men first handed a bone to another man standing close to a mad dog. The mad dog seeing the bone attacked.. then the group of men who caused the situation fled the scene handing a stick to the man being attacked asking him to fight by himself.
@@SoWAHHHT giving the bone is giving invitation to nato. No such thing was made. Wrong analogy my friend. And rabbit dogs needs to be put down.

EU and US are literally giving billions to help Ukraine survive and recover. It's been clear even before the start that war with Russia over Ukraine wasn't a line anyone was willing to cross. Putin's points about NATO endangering Russia are false and EU has been consistent in this. Joining EU means Ukraine can activate Article 42 which can effectively start a nuclear war in which Billions will die. You should be happy EU is being level-headed.

India never encouraged Ukraine to join an organisation ( NATO) which Russia consider a possible threat nor that it want Ukraine to ally with Russia .So it’s not the responsibility of India and is wise to abstain when such hypocrisy is showed by NATO nations
That is the practical truth.
exactly WION is clearly showing their real face here.
You do realise the EU and NATO have nothing to do with one another, right? The only relationship they have is that except for Canada and the US all the NATO countries are European, as are all EU countries, but that's where the comparison ends. Many European NATO countries aren't even in the EU for example, such as the UK, Norway, and Turkey.
Why do people not understand. EU and NATO are totally different bodies. NATO includes states also outside of Europe like the USA and is a DEFENSE ALLIANCE. European Union is an economic union. And aside from that. EU is fully within their rights to reject Ukraine membership as they simply do not fulfill any of the required criteria. India is fully within their right to stay neutral in this conflict as it has nothing to do with them. They are doing the best thing by staying out of it. Its best for India and they should continue to do so. The only ones to blame here are NATO who played with the Ukraine and used them as their pawn for their own interests, promising them something before and then not keeping their word.
now they're half-tailed and afraid
To clarify: EU and NATO are totally different things. Yes they have mishandled the NATO thing with telling Ukraine it will be welcome in the future, that was definitely misguided by NATO. But EU the European Union never made such a promise they always said "in the future perhaps" as in if they meet the criteria. There is lots of economical points that you have to meet in regards to economical stability national debt inflation and so forth and political as well, Ukraine is not even close to meeting these criteria. You will also not get your drivers license if you don´t pass the test. And EU membership would not help Ukraine anyways in their current situation, it is an economic union not a defense or military alliance. NATO played with Ukraine. The European Union did not.
Ukraine has always been a failed state. They pumped it with IMF money and was ready for the slicing. Russia was taking notes; however

Any country can provide any aid (weapon or medicine) based on friendship, no prior agreement is required for that. Even India can provide arms and medicine to Ukraine, if we want to, no agreement required.
NATO is helping Ukraine, because it acts as shield to other European countries. (Jus check the map)

As per a news report that I watched earlier, being a member of EU would require a lot of spending on meeting the union's norms in several areas, including infrastructure. That report further stated that some of the smaller EU members are struggling with the cost of membership. So the question is will Ukraine be able to afford the membership. Also it seems like Zelensky is doing his own version of blackmailing the EU.
Correct. Ukraine simply does not even fill out the Copenhagen criteria at the moment. Zelensky used this as a political stunt. Well-done actually in my opinion, he grabbed the chance and gave it a go, but some fast-track program was never a true possibility.
One just needed to google criteria for the EU membership to see that.
Thank you for this clarification, some countries did 10 to 15 or more years to be part of nato or the EU. And let's not forget that there's still a lot of corruption in Ukraine and Ukraine agriculture alone would not survive the rules. Not even the mining industry and safety in construction.. the paperwork alone would have to chance. It's like bringing your business to the stock market.

exactly. I don't know what are people dreaming about. Everyone wants EU to suddenly add Ukraine, but nobody actually wants to gear up for the war next day... idiotic.
its about the hypocrisy ''we are doing everything we can to help'' more like ''we want to look like good guys to our people,the real help ? what are we charity ?'' Also Nato is a military alliance... EU is not.
@Dr. xyz "my" leaders ? get your head out of your ass. Don't assume things you don't know nothing about.
Ukraine WANTED to be part of Nato, to be protected. To join NATO, EVERY country needs to sort its shit out and meet hundreds of specific conditions. Ukraine isn't the only country that's been waiting for the membership for ages. It's not like joining a book club. As far as I know, the elections of the guy previously elected were as much as "democratic" as Lukashenko's elections were, or Putin's. Democracy and Communism don't really go hand in hand. He was literally Putin's puppet.. And why Putin got pissed off. Which messed with his plan to revive the "great USSR" that he's been talking about 15 years ago. Hence why he was overthrown by new real democratic elections. coming from a country with a previously communist regiment, I can tell you that such thing, as "democratic elections" never happened. you gotta be brutally naive or dumb to believe in democracy in communism.

No, neither Germany or France have ever supported Ukraine to join NATO.
And about European union, neither. That were always the usa and UK alone, and UK is not even in the EU
Ukraine has backers for the EU, especially in East and Central Europe. But Ukraine's current situation doesn't change is reality. Ukraine is a very corrupt country with a pretty questionable level of democracy. There are a lot of reforms to be done, and institutions to create before talking membership. And in fact, at Versailles, the EU leaders decided to accept and forward Ukraine's application for review, which come faster than Ukraine could have ever hoped before the war. What was rejected, was the fast track membership.

@@aloysiusprasetyo3737 I don’t think anyone is promising a fast track to Zelensky. I think he wants to join EU because NATO isn’t an option right now. I think he’s hoping someone else will join the fight against Russia
People keep mixing up European union and NATO as if they were one and the same thing. When they are totally separate institutions. NATO includes states also outside of Europe like the USA and is a DEFENSE ALLIANCE. European Union is an economic union. Several European countries are part of EU and not part of NATO, think Austria, Sweden, Ireland. There are also countries in Europe that are not part of the EU, example would be Switzerland, or now also the UK. EU is fully within their rights to reject Ukraine membership as they simply do not fulfill any of the required criteria. Please stop using these bodies interchangeably as they are not at all the same thing.

There you are right, why can't they give Ukraine a promise cause you can always put "rules" on the promise. Fast track is impossible and membership process can't be started while they are at war.
Agreed, membership can't be pushed during war
They had years to fulfill that promise. It can't be fast tracked now, but, it shouldn't have come to this.
EU and NATO are throwing lots of money and weapons to Ukraine for virtually free. I wonder why some people think that's not enough,
@@Ewig_Luftenglanz For their own interests. It's in their interest to continue the war and inflict economic damage to Russia, even if it means Ukraine is completely flattened.
A promise using a tongue that are without bones.
We have long seen this coming. Ukraine has a lot of economic domestic problems that it cannot fit the requirement for EU like corruptions and a lot others. NATO cannot accept Ukraine so fast because they have contested regional friction with other Nation. Apparently, they are also at war right now which made issue of membership even more complicated.
Other than that, Logistical and administrative matters does not permit such action to be done overnight just like what the EU member told us in the interview. It is to be expected, if anything its a miscalculation for the Ukraine to expect them to help. EU is a very cautious organization after all. Of course its also the NATO's fault for pushing them too far and the EU fault for not reminding them earlier that EU membership cannot be easily given.

And the possibility of Russia join NATO is zero even though Putin had made efforts to join five times in the past because if Russia join NATO then which country can the US sell their weapons to, they have to keep Russia in the open so those capital countries and the US itself can profit from each other for being capitalized opposing to communism.

Western Balkans have been waiting to become eu members for decades. No one enters the block until you become a well developed and democratic country and dont become a liability for them
Yeap, Romania and Bulgaria sure did that?
Romania and Bulgaria joined despite being poor. Slovenia entered no problem and Croatia had a war which stifled development so it lagged behind. It's about establishing rule of law, regulations and functional multi-party elections. North Macedonia is getting close. Albania is barely functional, Montenegro was a quasi-dictatorship(but getting better) and Serbia has a lot of issues but was making progress before their leadership decided to mess it up. Bosnia can just break apart any minute now. Issue with Turkey is that it has been backsliding for decades now so it's actually losing progress.
It is not just developed, then every country has a veto and we have a history in balkan - every neighboring country one by one are adding condition. One of this condition was to change the name of the state. We have changed name, now there is another for the language ?!? it is absurd. Hoping that you will be accepted that easily is very naive.
@@TheLordboki Romania and Bulgaria may jave been poorer by western standards but the can not be compared with wb. A lot has changed since last enlargement. There is no appetite for new members despite that wester balkans are surrounded by eu.
How is Albania barely functional? They have done exactly what eu has asked. Even took a massive juridical reform that no other nation has done and even wasnt done before in the world and being noted from many academics like experiment in Albania their government obliged. North Macedonia changed its name for gods sake and still is blocked by Bulgaria over a dispute for their language and history. Serbia and Montenegro are a little bit more developed and in front line to become a new member but Serbia has an issue to resolve with kosovo and Montenegro is going through government replacement one afer another. It will be a long ride before they all join, if that ever happens.
@@banobani3787 True.

What nonsense are you saying. Nobody is leaving NATO. And they had no reason to intervene as in boots on the ground as Ukraine is no official member. Having said that, I agree that they played with Ukraine dangling membership over their heads for the selfish interests of members like the USA.
Recent past and present leaders of Ukraine should have read Sun Tzu: "We cannot enter into alliances until we are acquainted with the designs of our neighbors"
What did they expect from a comedian.
Joining EU isn't going to ensure its short term future either. It's getting massive financial support from both EU and US. Europeans will also likely agree to foot the bill for Ukraine's recovery, but joining EU right now this very moment is pointless since the country may not exist in a few months, and giving it instant accession will just pull Europe into a war it isn't nearly ready for.
I was just about to say the same. When you don't have any skin in the same its always easy to cheerlead from the stands.
And not meeting any of the criteria at all.

@@amossimon1520 Putin attacking Ukraine doesn't help either.

India and Asia have nothing to do with this NATO mess. Deal with it yourselves.
this kind of reporting is what the world needs. direct to the point!
giving Ukraine an immediate membership of NATO will automatically involve whole EU into conflict. I don't think it's a betrayal but a wise decision. It's easy to say that one is brave and the other one is coward, but think about the consequences. What happen to Ukraine cannot blame to Russia alone, Blame the west and NATO itself for containing other nation around the globe with conflicting interest with them. That is the west long time strategy, to extend sphere of influence across the globe, and for what? Global dominance!!
Yes but did the West clearly explain this to the Ukrainian Government? Something on the lines of "We are unlikely to let you join NATO and will not commit our militaries to fight for you. EU membership may be a distant possibility but there are no guarantees." I suspect nothing this clear was enunciated on purpose - and things were left open to interpretation. The reason, I suspect, is because the West did not want Ukraine to compromise with Russia - which Ukraine would probably have done if the West had been clear and honest. I think this is one of the main tragedies of the war.
@@adelcorona7393 it says otherwise brother..

@@khari8383 that is what they call "playing safe"
What the French president has just said is that the EU will only admit Ukrine if they will gain,not when they are in need of help
Or is just that not joining any block is a condition for Russia stopping the aggression, is not clear what the result of the war is, and we shouldn't make things worse for them by making Putin even more paranoid. If Ukraine loses and we are going on for bringing Ukraine into the EU, that could escalate more, it could even end up with a permanent military occupation of Ukraine. If Russia loses, it would be easier for Ukraine to work towards membership.
The time to get help should have been before, why join now? Why not before?
Yes, because the EU is not a help or welfare organisation, and has never claimed to be that, either. All countries in the EU had to meet certain requirements to join, and some countries, like Turkey for instance, have not met them yet and have already been waiting to be able join for years. Letting Ukraine in right now would not only be damaging to the EU, it would also be absolutely unfair.
@@ASmith-jn7kf I agree with you.They could have not joined sadly, because it poses a risk to every other nation in EU.

Before they can join, they have to prove they can handle corruption among other things, which was out of hand. You need to prove you can keep your country in tact then you can join the block where everyone moves freely. One rotten apple makes more rotten apples, you know how it goes...

We have provided Ukraine with billions and billions of euros worth of support and pivotal intel. Ukrainian forces know where and when to ambush Russian supply convoys, because they are in close contact with western intelligence. Europe has accepted millions of refugees with open arms.

@ Victor M, you are not helping at all but inflaming the situation. By giving weapons and ammunition, you are already provoking it. Russia has already encircled the capital. This is not Vietnam or Afghanistan, battles are taking place in urban areas. It is the Ukrainians who are dying and families being dispersed.

Another lesson is also not to provoke your neighbor when given a chance... If you check the history, Ukraine was the one who did not want to renew the non aggression pact with Russia in 2018... Instead, they tried to join NATO which will piss of Russia as joining NATO is a security treat to Russia which Russia highlighted many times and years ago..

If EU would allow Ukraine to join "the team", it would turn itself into a IIIWW - no one want's this scenario to happen, think twice, they are already pumping bilions of dollars into Ukraine (which is a good thing), by supplying war-tech. This is not as easy as: sure, let's join the fight - consequences could be disastrous. Behind the stage connections, deals, dependencies as very strong here, hence it's not as easy as we may think. I would love to see this happening, I mean saving Ukraine by sending Armies from all the EU countries, but this would empose an astronomical risk to us all.

Very true news..,
I live in the "west" (UK) and I watch Palky and quite often. I really enjoy the fact that her and WION sometimes offer a slightly different view of the world, one that may not be presented on western media, often finding myself in agreement with it. However, I would like to offer my opinion on this specific subject, and my opinion is that the assessment, as presented on this video, is quite unfair. Not offering Ukraine fast-track membership to the EU is not equivalent to having them go their merry way and fend for themselves. I would dare to say that everyone, and I mean everyone would want to see Ukraine in the EU (citizens and politicians alike), especially after all the struggle they have been through in order to be able to make that choice for themselves. The EU, though, is a complex organisation with a lot of requirements, a lot of which Ukraine would objectively fail to meet and would most probably not be able to adapt to meet in a period of a couple of months (or couple of years, for that matter). If Ukraine was just dropped in the EU as a member, one of these two things would most probably happen, either Ukraine would have trouble functioning properly and torture themselves as well as all the other EU members in the process for a long period of time, or Ukraine would fail, blame the EU for it and then exit. The correct approach would be to initially offer Ukraine with the full support they have earned, but as an _independent state_. Offer them some sort of an arrangement in the form of a customs union (or something in that fashion), coming along with support/rebuild funds and some sort of an extension of the EU security boundary so they can feel safe and then offer them guidelines on how they could get onto the path of becoming a state that would be able to harmoniously integrate into the EU, should they choose to do so. Essentially, embrace them for who and what they are, help them stand on their feet and then show them what they would need to change if they really wanted to eventually join, and if, having all the knowledge, they chose to do so, then and only then help them on their journey towards integration. This is the only arrangement that would actually work, in the short term as well as in the long term. Rejecting them would be unfair and just dropping them in would be dysfunctional, hence the "friend" (rather than "member") option would be the best initial option, the option with the least pain and the most joy. At least that is my personal view on this subject.
Yeah, this makes sense.
In that case atleast west should not give false promises to Ukraine. Just go with the videos of western leaders how they supported ukriane to poke Russia... That's the reason for all of these. Everyone knows Ukraine not able to make into nato or EU, but why poking Russia then?

@@fullfradi95 US cannot be trustable and never be trustable. US never have friends as it have only allies.
India don't consider US as friend but as Ally.
My meaning of west is everyone are in the part of NATO (almost 20+ European countries) no one talked about how complicated to be joined into nato, other nato allies are jus being shut their mouths until the war begins
@@fullfradi95 that's what US needs from us, as a common citizen we suffers a lot with US interests, but as close allies with US, eu nations should rethink of being with US
