"This is some kind of game, a trap": MP spoke about the bills EU partners are demanding

According to UNIAN, Western partners seem to have an artificial desire to corner Ukraine. The bills whose adoption they demand in exchange for funding definitely won’t work right now. This opinion was expressed by Member of Parliament Oleksii Kucherenko in a comment for "Superpositsiya."

"The more I dive into this topic, the more it seems to me that this is some kind of game, a trap. Laws aimed at fighting corruption — it’s hard to be against those, because that’s not an element of the war. It’s clear that if we’re moving toward the European Union, our fight against corruption must be effective, and corruption must show a downward trend," the politician emphasized.

At the same time, according to the MP, when it comes to other partner-proposed bills — namely energy and public utilities — they definitely won’t work today.

"They might work when we are ready to join the EU, so making Ukraine a hostage to these bills is some artificial desire to drive Ukraine into a dead end," Kucherenko added.

Ukraine’s accession to the EU — latest news

Earlier the media reported that only one country is blocking the opening of clusters regarding Ukraine’s accession to the EU. In particular, Hungarian negotiators say they want to see more progress and real results in the implementation of the law on national minorities in Ukraine.

Also, Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar stated that Ukraine is not ready to join the EU. He noted that Hungary’s position does not change: the country can agree to an accession process based on merit, with no exceptional procedures and no accelerated procedures.

"Ukraine is a country at war and is obviously not ready to join the EU, no matter how much EU leaders or member states try to convince Ukraine otherwise, in my opinion that would be completely mistaken," Magyar emphasized.
