European officials in informal contacts explicitly state that Ukraine's accession to the EU is completely excluded now and in the medium term, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said on Friday.
"European officials and politicians of European countries in informal contacts explicitly state that the accession of Ukraine in the European Union at the current stage and at least in the medium term is completely excluded," the SVR said in a statement.
The EU fears that Ukraine's integration will give an impetus to strengthening positions of right-wing radical forces throughout Europe, the statement read.
"For many years, European officials and politicians have been painting attractive pictures of their future involvement in the so-called 'golden billion' in front of the residents of Ukraine. They are promised a rich life, security and well-being as part of the European Union, in which Kiev allegedly has just a couple of steps to take before membership," the statement said.
At the same time, the prospects for Ukraine's European integration are significantly worse than those of Moldova, the SVR said, adding that European officials continue to deceive Ukrainians with the prospects of joining the EU and assign them only the role of cannon fodder in the fight against Russia.
