According to [this source][1], Austria's FM said that Ukraine shouldn't be given full EU membership:

> While Schallenberg supports stronger relations between Europe and
> Ukraine, he doesn't support the full membership of Ukraine.

This seems rather strange because:

- even if Ukraine is on a fast track for EU membership, it is [mostly symbolic, as it takes year to actually function as an EU member][2]
- it breaks the unity of the message of the EU for clearly supporting Ukraine

What is the point of mentioning Austria's non-support for Ukraine EU member at this moment?
