Europe promises new members like Ukraine a future inside the EU, but without reform its institutions risk collapse under their own weight, turning bold pledges into another round of empty waiting.
One thing which the EU lack is its own United Defence Force. Relaying for security on the US led NATO proves to be pointless in the era where the White House is run by the kremlin.
For the sake of the EU security, it is necessary Ukraine becomes a member. For sure. With its most capable battle tested forces, Ukraine is the most valuable addition to the block, not to mention the country's size, population, resources and economy.
The question stays though: Who is going to protect even bigger Union?
Enlargement should pair with establishment of Untied European Defence Force (intelligence agencies included).
