The EU27 have the same "military alliance agreement" as Nato has, therefor no country being at war nor being partly occupied or being involved in any other conflict can join the EU. To get the status as a " candidate for EU membership" is normally needed UPFRONT the fulfilling of the Copenhagen Criteria first including sorting corruption, being a stabile democracy/ economy. That was meant by "we're actually more advanced then normally". Just saying ...

@swiftflight7927 😉 Forgot to say: it's a usual thing in German speaking countries to put a "the" in front of a country... "the Netherlands, the UK, the US, the Ukraine, the Lebanon, the Kongo, some are "female", some are "male", others don't have any at all, so no "disrespect", just "language issues" LOL Btw, "the" Ukraine is "female" 😉

Before joining the EU the Copenhagen Criteria have to be fulfilled first as well as corruption has to be sorted, a "candidate for EU membership" has to be a stabile democracy/ economy as well.

@Marvininini Since 2014 Germany is the largest donor to Ukraine, without that money Ukraine couldn't even pay the pensions, the civil servants nor the soldiers anymore either.

@swiftflight7927 😉 Don't worry, I had funny discussions with my London born spouse why a table is "male", but the UK is "a girl/das", the Netherlands are " female/die" and the Lebanon is "male/der" LOL Btw, the "German moon is male/der" and the sun ist "female", while ALL other countries, like Spain, Italy and France have it exactly the other way around: sun/male, moon/ female "gg". But Germans find it quite strange, that native English speaking people are "afraid when being sorry", but that's how languages are LOL Ahh, I love languages 😉 May I ask, are you learning German because you want to move to a German speaking country? Greetings from Germany 😉 Edit typo/ bloody autocorrect

@swiftflight7927 Hi and thanks for answering 😉 That's interesting indeed, I only found out some years ago that the German language was one of the three leading languages of science until 1919. I've also got "relatives" somewhere in Virginia (no contact though, I only know through old documents), they left Bremen with the "North-German Lloyd" shipping company some time around 1821-1840ish. Recently I visited the "Emigrants House Bremerhaven/Auswanderer Haus ...", where they keep/store all records/figures/people/ships etc since people started to leave the EUropean Continent by ship. As I wanted to find my ancestors (two men, Johann/John and Heinrich/ Henry), but unfortunately our ancestors/ civil servants decided in 1875 to errase all data until three years before departure because of "overload of files", all together about 7,5 million people left EUrope via Bremen/ Bremerhaven, so it's understandable. So if you still know when and with which ship your ancestors came and where from (country/region/area) keep it, and may be pass it on to the "Auswanderer Haus Bremerhaven", as everything is digital now 😉 If ever you might have the chance to visit Germany/Bremen/Bremerhaven it would be worth it to visit this "interactive" museum. All the best to you with greetings to the US from Bremen 😉

Wether you like it or not, the EU27 and the 4 EFTA members is a pragmatic, rule based organisation which is acting on behalf of its members (within and abroad) only. To join the EU the Copenhagen Criteria have to be fulfilled first as well as corruption issues have to be sortet, the candidate has to be a stabile democracy/ economy, as long those criteria aren't fulfilled the next charter doesn't open. Btw, the EU27 have the same " military alliance agreement" as Nato, therefor no country being at war nor being partly occupied or being involved in any other conflict can join the EU. This is why Serbia is where it is. If a country wants to join the club it has to sort its issues first ...

@niburu1508 Mostly credits, but still: without that money Ukraine couldn't even pay the pensions, the civil servants nor the soldiers anymore either. What could happen without those payments? A humanitarian desaster= no money for the people = no food etc, as simple as that...
