Speaking to students in <strong>Marsberg, Germany<\/strong>, Merz said he was working on ideas to bring Ukraine closer to the European Union step by step. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/merz-suggests-ukraine-may-have-accept-territorial-loss-help-pave-way-eu-2026-04-27\/\">Reuters<\/a>, he connected this painful possibility with a larger goal: giving Ukrainians a clear future inside Europe. The message was not cheerful, but it was direct. In business-casual English, we might say: this is where the conversation gets real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the Territorial Question Matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Merz said that if there is eventually a peace treaty with Russia, part of Ukraine\u2019s territory may no longer be under Ukrainian control. That is a very sensitive point because Ukraine has fought for years to defend its land and independence. Merz also suggested that Ukrainian President <strong>Volodymyr Zelenskiy<\/strong> would need to explain any difficult peace decision to the Ukrainian people, possibly through a <strong>referendum<\/strong>. In other words, this would not just be a diplomatic decision made behind closed doors. It would be a national decision with deep emotional, political, and security consequences. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reutersconnect.com\/item\/merz-suggests-ukraine-may-have-to-accept-territorial-loss-to-help-pave-way-for-eu-membership\/dGFnOnJldXRlcnMuY29tLDIwMjY6bmV3c21sX1ZBNTg2MzI3MDQyMDI2UlAx\">Reuters Connect<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ukraine\u2019s EU Path Will Not Be Fast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Ukraine\u2019s EU path<\/strong> question is not only about ending the war. It is also about whether Ukraine can meet the EU\u2019s membership requirements. Merz said Ukraine cannot realistically join the EU while it is still at war. He also ruled out accession in <strong>2027 or even 2028<\/strong>, saying Ukraine must first meet strict conditions related to the <strong>rule of law<\/strong> and <strong>anti-corruption reforms<\/strong>. That means even if the fighting stops, Ukraine\u2019s entry into the EU would still take time. For Kyiv, the challenge is not just winning support. It is also proving that the country can meet the standards of a major political and economic union. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/merz-suggests-ukraine-may-have-accept-territorial-loss-help-pave-way-eu-2026-04-27\/\">Reuters<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Step-by-Step Approach Instead of Full Membership<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Merz proposed intermediate steps that could bring Ukraine closer to the EU before full membership. One idea was allowing Ukraine to take part in meetings of important EU bodies without voting rights. He said this kind of arrangement received broad support at a recent EU summit attended by Zelenskiy. This approach could give Ukraine a stronger European connection while avoiding the problem of immediate full accession. It is a practical middle step: not full membership, but not standing outside the door either. For many businesses and governments, that kind of phased approach is often how large, complicated deals move forward.

Reuters reported that Hungary\u2019s election removed <strong>Viktor Orban<\/strong>, who had long been one of Ukraine\u2019s biggest obstacles inside the EU. His successor, <strong>Peter Magyar<\/strong> of the center-right <strong>Tisza party<\/strong>, is not described as strongly pro-Ukraine, but he is expected to be less hostile to Kyiv\u2019s EU ambitions. This matters because EU decisions often require broad agreement among member states. With Orban gone, Ukraine may have a clearer path on aid, sanctions, and accession talks\u2014but that does not mean everything suddenly becomes easy. The road is still long, but one major roadblock may be smaller now.

Merz did not say Ukraine \u201cmust\u201d give up territory. Reports used words like <strong>suggested<\/strong>, <strong>may<\/strong>, <strong>might<\/strong>, and <strong>possibly<\/strong>. That matters. In advanced English, especially in business or diplomacy, careful language helps people discuss difficult choices without sounding reckless or absolute. The <strong>Ukraine\u2019s EU path<\/strong> story is also a good reminder that big goals often require stages, conditions, and trade-offs. Whether you are talking about politics, business strategy, or career growth, it helps to explain both the goal and the obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vocabulary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Territorial Loss<\/strong> (noun phrase) \u2013 losing control of land or territory.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cMerz suggested Ukraine may face territorial loss in a future peace deal.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peace Treaty<\/strong> (noun phrase) \u2013 an official agreement to end a war.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cA peace treaty with Russia could create difficult choices for Ukraine.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Referendum<\/strong> (noun) \u2013 a public vote on an important political question.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cZelenskiy might need a referendum to ask Ukrainians about a major peace decision.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accession<\/strong> (noun) \u2013 the process of joining an organization, especially the EU.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cUkraine\u2019s EU accession will likely take several years.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rule of Law<\/strong> (noun phrase) \u2013 the principle that laws are fair and apply to everyone.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cThe EU requires strong rule of law before accepting new members.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anti-Corruption Reforms<\/strong> (noun phrase) \u2013 changes designed to stop dishonest use of power.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cUkraine must continue anti-corruption reforms to move closer to the EU.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Intermediate Step<\/strong> (noun phrase) \u2013 a stage between the beginning and the final goal.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cObserver access to EU meetings could be an intermediate step.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Voting Rights<\/strong> (noun phrase) \u2013 the official power to vote in decisions.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cUkraine might attend some EU meetings without voting rights.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Roadblock<\/strong> (noun) \u2013 something that prevents progress.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cOrban had been a major roadblock to Ukraine\u2019s EU ambitions.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trade-Off<\/strong> (noun) \u2013 a situation where you give up one thing to gain another.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cUkraine may face a painful trade-off between peace and territorial control.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discussion Questions (About the Article)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What did Friedrich Merz suggest Ukraine may have to accept in a future peace deal?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why would Zelenskiy possibly need to hold a referendum?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why did Merz say Ukraine cannot join the EU while still at war?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What intermediate steps did Merz suggest for bringing Ukraine closer to the EU?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How could Hungary\u2019s political change affect Ukraine\u2019s EU hopes?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discussion Questions (About the Topic)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Should a country ever accept territorial loss to end a war?
