At a recent conference in Rome, Ukrainian Parliament Committee Head Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze emphasized the need for stability and reforms over restoration, stating that Ukraine’s survival in the war requires prioritizing structural changes. Klympush-Tsintsadze, representing the European Solidarity faction, argued that focusing on systemic reforms would better secure Ukraine’s future than merely restoring pre-war conditions. The discussion took place amid ongoing tensions with Russia and the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Klympush-Tsintsadze highlighted the importance of aligning Ukraine’s policies with European Union standards to ensure long-term stability and integration. She suggested that reforms in governance, economic structures, and defense capabilities are essential for Ukraine’s resilience against external threats. The remarks came as Ukraine continues to seek international support for its war efforts and to strengthen its position in negotiations with Russia.
The conference in Rome featured discussions on various aspects of Ukraine’s integration into European institutions, with Klympush-Tsintsadze advocating for a strategic shift in priorities. While the focus on reforms may seem radical, she argued that it is necessary for Ukraine to adapt and survive in its current geopolitical environment. The call for stability has also sparked debate among Ukrainian political factions, with some prioritizing immediate security concerns over long-term structural changes.
