The global parliamentary network United for Ukraine (United4Ukraine) has called on the European Union to launch the first negotiation cluster on Ukraine’s accession to the EU in early September. This development comes amid heightened urgency from both Ukraine and the international community for the EU to fast-track its membership talks, which have been stalled for several years.
United4Ukraine, composed of members from various countries and political parties, is calling on the EU to prioritize Ukraine’s integration, emphasizing that the process should be accelerated to meet the country’s strategic and economic needs. The timing of the proposal, coinciding with ongoing discussions on the bloc’s expanded membership, has raised hopes that Ukraine could move closer to joining the EU in the near future.
While the EU has previously expressed interest in Ukraine’s membership, the delay has prompted calls for clearer commitments and a faster decision-making process. This initiative is seen as a crucial step in solidifying Ukraine’s position within the EU and providing stability to the region amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
