If the EU and NATO drag out accession for too long, how would Ukranians feel about joining something like the Commonwealth?

I'm not trying to get some sort of "you should join us!" thing going, I'm just curious.

As a citizen of the UK it's been frustrating to watch everything going on- Europe is trying to sort things out but countries are still sitting on each other's hands, and then there are the countries that shall not be named (all of them really) that keeping getting in the way of your accession- something most Europeans and many of us in the UK want. Almost all of us want you in.

We want you with us, and I can't imagine how frustrating it must be from your side. But it got me thinking, since we left the EU (which I voted against, but that's a story for another day) while we have lost many things, quite a lot of red tape and EU stalling just doesn't affect us anymore.

Speaking to one of my friends the other day I mentioned "Imagine if the EU is too long and we in the UK invited Ukraine to join the Commonwealth, people like Orban or Fico couldn't say or do anything about it". Which kind of got me thinking; 'I do wonder how the people of Ukraine would feel about such a thing' so here is the question- what are your thoughts on something like this?

I'm not trying to offend, or make some sort of statement that you should definately join us in the UK, I'm just legitimately curious to how you'd respond to such a call.

Stay safe and strong, everyone.

Slava Ukraini, Heroes.
