Apr 25, 2022 at 6:06 comment added o.m. He might also be saying loud what others are just thinking -- that Ukraine is publicly treating anything less than unconditional, unlimited support as a hostile act. There are other wars, other disasters on the globe, they don't come with a fast lane to structural cohesion funds, common agricultural policy, and the Four Freedoms of the Single Market.
Apr 25, 2022 at 5:02 comment added QuantumWalnut We don't have full context of the statement. It would be better if there is a transcript or video to determine what the Austrian foreign minister is saying. Based on our limited information, it could be just an off-the-cuff comment on how he would "prefer" the situation to be handled, rather than that being Austrian govenrment's official position.

Apr 24, 2022 at 20:45 comment added xngtng Also, the context is the decision of EU executives this June, not forever into the future, on Ukraine becoming a candidate. There is no "unity of the message" on this front. Countries will take a position after June one way or another. An official EU candidate would already imply pre-accession financial help, and sure it is mostly symbolic, but symbolism matters, especially when there are other candidate countries that either expect similar treatment to Ukraine or Ukraine may be expecting similar treatment to them.
Apr 24, 2022 at 20:41 comment added xngtng "As for why Ukraine shouldn't receive EU candidate status this June, Schallenberg pointed to states in the Western Balkans that are currently joining talks for EU accession."
Apr 24, 2022 at 20:20 comment added Alexei @Trilarion I have managed to find a source that mentions the context for the statement. The context seems to be an official one, so I guess it is not a personal opinion, but rather in his official capacity.

adapted title to match body better, if he spoke in official capacity, it should be changed back
Apr 24, 2022 at 19:31 comment added NoDataDumpNoContribution Is FM foreign minister? Also did he make this statement in his official capacity or just as a private opinion? The title asks about Austria but the statement might well only be valid for a single Austrian. There are approximately 9 million more Austrians and surely some of them will not support the full membership of Ukraine but many others will.
