On April XNUMX, Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics published a tweet stating that Ukraine was being admitted to the European Union. However, his statement caused a wave of negative comments and criticism from social media users.

Shortly after the tweet was posted, Rinkevich deleted it and apologized for his words, emphasizing that it was a joke in honor of April 1st. He also added that he was very sorry if his tweet was misunderstood and hurt someone.

The reaction to Rinkevich's statement reflected the significance of the problems associated with Ukraine's accession to the European Union. Ukraine really strives for European integration, however, at the moment, its membership in the EU remains an open question. Accession to the European Union is a lengthy process that requires the fulfillment of certain conditions, as well as the agreement of all EU members.

Rinkevich quickly apologized for his statement, but it reminds us how important it is to be careful what we say in public, especially when it comes to serious political issues.
