The fact that European
Union will refuse to consider Ukraine as a member candidate was known
five years ago. It was clear then that membership is possible in at least 10-15
years.
The Party of Regions deputy
Vadym Kolesnichenko told IMC commenting on the information on that EU ministers
failed to decided Ukraine’s integration and further expansion
of the union.
“The problem is that Ukraine does to meet European interests. Ukraine is just an object of foreign policy
of the USA, Europe and Russia. Ukraine does not determine its course, but
follows the orders of the world leaders. Unfortunately, the people who claim to
be Ukraine’s leaders don’t understand that with inner
conflicts and squabbles they ruin any possibility to develop as independent
state,” he said.
“Besides, Europe does not like evident pro-American
politicians. Yushchenko is no longer interesting for them, as he demonstrate
too open devotion to America,” he added.
According to Kolesnichenko,
the unbiased reason Ukraine’s will not be taken into the EU is
that Ukraine does not meet regularly its international
obligations to the EU.
“There is question: why do
we need EU or NATO? The authorities say that it is necessary to improve the
standards and to get help. It is poor and defective policy of the people, who
are ruining the very possibility to develop as an independent state. They say
we have to go there and there, but they don’t have either brains or desire to
come back to the country and find out what we are really capable of. Their
ambition overheated their heads and they don’t see an opportunity of
independent development of Ukraine,” he explained.
“For the next five years Ukraine should even dream about EU
membership. But in 15 years it will be clear that EU has serious problems and
that it is falling apart. Against such background I would turn my head to the
Asian markets. They have huge needs, and it might be very profitable
cooperation,” Kolesnichenko summed up.
