DEBATE: ”The Future of European Integration of Ukraine”

How can we convince EU citizens that accepting Ukraine into the EU is the right thing when for most of them it would mean tightening their belts and lowering their living standards? Ukraine would become one of the biggest and poorest member states. Is the EU structurally ready to accept such a challenge?
