BlockBeats News, December 12th, according to the Financial Times, the earliest Ukraine could join the EU is in 2027 based on a fast-track proposal agreed upon by the UK and US. This move would completely reshape the EU's accession process. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that in the latest version of the Ukraine peace proposal draft, it is explicitly stated that Ukraine will join the EU on January 1, 2027. These individuals added that this accelerated timeline would disrupt the EU's "performance-based" approach to admitting new members and force the EU to rethink the entire process.Putin's foreign policy adviser Ushakov said on Friday that Russia has not yet seen the latest version of the US peace plan draft involving Ukraine and its European allies. Ushakov stated, "When we see it, I have a feeling that we won't like much of what's in it." Ushakov also rejected the proposal for the Donbas region on the front line to potentially become a "free economic zone"—an idea being promoted by the Trump administration.
