Poland may benefit from Ukraine's accession to EU

Ukraine expects to obtain the status of a candidate country for the EU already in June, during the scheduled meeting of the European Council.

"The process of Ukraine joining the European community – whether in the EU or Euro-Atlantic community, the defense one – is a process that Poland will benefit in a special way," Krzysztof Kwiatkowski, senator of the Republic of Poland and former president of the Supreme Chamber of Control, assessed.

As he emphasized, thanks to the accession of Ukraine, Polish security will improve, also in the military dimension, and Poland will also gain, inter alia, as a transit country through which EU-Ukrainian trade will flow. The role that Polish companies can play in the future in rebuilding the local economy from the war damage cannot be overestimated.

"We make the assumption that Ukraine is winning the war with Russia – or at least it is not losing it – and more and more circumstances actually prove it. The EU is facing key decisions in the context of Ukraine today. Ukraine feels that it has paid the highest price for the defense of European values ​​such as the right to self-determination, personal freedom, choice," Krzysztof Kwiatkowski added.

At the beginning of April, Ukraine completed the documents related to accession to the EU. As the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, informed, this procedure usually takes years, but due to exceptional circumstances, in this case it is to be shortened to a few weeks.
