Russian President Vladimir Putin may be in for a pleasant surprise after the December summit of EU leaders.

Axar.az reports that the Danish publication DR published information about this.

"The decision to start negotiations on Ukraine's membership can be postponed from the December summit to the next meeting scheduled for March. It is already planned that in the spring, the European Commission will prepare another report on Kyiv's progress towards membership. Therefore, it will be natural for EU leaders to wait for him. As a result, the December summit may end with a classic compromise on EU support for Ukraine. And Putin cannot expect a better Christmas present from Brussels," the publication said.
