EU’s Kallas feels member states ‘not yet ready’ to give Ukraine a concrete date for membership

The European Union's foreign policy chief said on Sunday that she did not feel that countries within the bloc were ready to give Ukraine a concrete date for membership.

"My feeling is that the member states are not ready to give a concrete date," Kaja Kallas told a panel at the Munich Security Conference.

"There's a lot of work to be done and then (the) priority and the urgent need is to move, and show that Ukraine is part of Europe."
