Ukraine could become a member of the European Union before 2030 if it maintains the current pace and quality of reforms, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Monday at a press conference in Kyiv.
"I really appreciate the political will that is there. I would even say Ukraine's merit-based process, if they continue at that speed and at that quality, perhaps they could be earlier than 2030," Von der Leyen stated.
