Kremlin Warns EU of Destabilization from Ukrainian and Moldovan Entry

The Kremlin has criticized the European Union's decision to open membership talks with Ukraine and Moldova, calling it a politicized move that could destabilize the bloc. Russia praised Hungary for objecting to the decision and expressed concerns that new members could disrupt the EU. The EU leaders agreed to open entry talks with Ukraine despite the ongoing conflict with Russia, and they also granted Georgia the status of a membership candidate. The Kremlin spokesperson suggested that these decisions were driven by a desire to annoy Russia and antagonize the EU in relation to Russia.
