The European Commission expressed its readiness to start formal negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the European Union in 2025, if Ukraine fulfills additional reform requirements. The new report on Ukraine's progress on membership states that the country has achieved significant success in the implementation of reforms despite the war, but further changes in the EU need further changes in the key areas.
It is noted that Ukraine has "implemented all the unfulfilled steps", defined in the conclusion of the European Commission of 2022.
In particular, the report noted Ukraine's efforts to combat corruption, reform of the judicial system and protect the rights of national minorities.
At the same time, the European Commission emphasizes the need for further combating organized crime and high -level corruption, as well as on reform in government and decentralization.
The report also noted that screening of Ukrainian legislation for compliance with the European "moves smoothly".
