President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine has welcomed the European Commission’s latest evaluation of the country’s journey toward EU membership. The report, which is part of the EU’s Enlargement Package, outlines Ukraine’s consistent efforts to meet the criteria for accession. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of these steps in strengthening Ukraine’s ties with Europe and advancing its integration into the EU.
According to the Commission’s assessment, Ukraine has made significant strides in several key areas, including governance, rule of law, and economic reform. These developments have been closely monitored as part of the EU’s accession process, which requires member states to demonstrate compliance with EU standards. Zelenskyy praised the Commission for recognizing Ukraine’s progress and reiterated his administration’s commitment to further reforms.
The report also highlights the importance of continued support from the European Union in maintaining Ukraine’s stability and security, particularly in light of the ongoing conflict with Russia. Zelenskyy stressed that EU membership is not only a political goal but also a practical necessity for Ukraine’s future. The President called for increased solidarity among EU nations to facilitate Ukraine’s integration and to ensure that the country can fully benefit from EU membership.
