German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has publicly stated that Ukraine's immediate accession to the European Union is impossible, signaling a significant hurdle in Kyiv's EU ambitions. This declaration underscores the persistent divisions within the bloc regarding Ukraine's membership path, which have become more apparent since Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's departure. The statement from a key EU leader like Merz directly contradicts any notion of a swift or automatic accession process for Ukraine.
