Ukraine’s hopes of quickly joining the EU are being rebuffed, ahead of a historic meeting in Kyiv.
An EU-Ukraine summit takes place on Friday, and top officials have begun arriving in the Ukrainian capital.
Ahead of the meeting, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said Ukraine had set what he called an “ambitious goal” of joining the EU in two years.
But a group of member states have warned it should be made clear to Kyiv that this will not be possible.
