Previously, Bloomberg, citing informed sources and diplomatic documents, reported that the Netherlands and Denmark oppose granting Ukraine a status candidate for EU membership.» When the Netherlands <…> declares that it does not support granting Ukraine the status of a candidate country for EU membership, one must have an understanding from whom this greeting was conveyed. Germany is the largest trade and economic partner of the Netherlands «, — Dubinsky wrote. He pointed out that a quarter of the country's exports come from Germany, in addition, trade with Berlin provides a sixth of the Netherlands' imports. «This is such a liver sausage,» Dubinsky added. Previously, the words of the Ukrainian ambassador Andrey Melnyk in Germany, who called Scholz «an offended liverwurst» for his unwillingness to visit Kyiv.
U.S. diplomat reported Zelensky's «hint» of a compromise on Crimea in the EU are small. He noted that before the start of the Russian special operation, Kyiv was «very far» from the status of a candidate.
