**December 12 (FT) — Ukraine could join the European Union as early as 2027 under a fast-track proposal agreed to by the U.S. and the U.K., a move set to overhaul the bloc’s membership accession process, the Financial Times reported Wednesday.** **Sources with knowledge of the matter told the outlet the latest draft of the Ukraine peace proposal explicitly specifies Ukraine’s EU accession date as January 1, 2027.

The project team independently set the fundraising amount, tokenomics, and liquidity arrangements. Cookie does not participate in the project’s treasury, control pricing, or influence post-listing trends.
