Ukraine's accession to the European Union will also be beneficial for Europe.

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson made this statement during the presentation of his book *No Shackles* in Kyiv.

According to him, Ukraine has significant agricultural potential that could be important for the European market.

Ukraine is one of the most efficient agricultural producers in the world. This will be a good thing for Europe

He also believes that Ukraine’s NATO membership could strengthen the Alliance itself thanks to Ukraine’s combat experience.

Who has the most effective ground forces? Who has the most experience fighting Russia? It’s Ukraine

In his view, the Ukrainian army could be a significant asset for NATO.

As a reminder, during this presentation, Johnson called Putin’s claims—that he allegedly prevented Ukraine from signing a peace agreement—"nonsense," and emphasized that Russia cannot continue the war indefinitely, and that Ukraine must maintain the strongest army in Europe.
