Today the European Union presented Ukraine with the conditions for accession — Svyrydenko

“Today the Ukrainian delegation in Brussels received from the European Union the conditions for accession under the three final negotiating clusters”, - Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko reported on March 17.

According to her, these are clusters 3 “Competitiveness and inclusive development”, 4 “Green agenda and sustainable development”, and 5 “Resources, agriculture and cohesion policy”.

“From now on, Ukraine has a complete package of conditions, the fulfillment of which is necessary for accession to the EU — for the first time in history”, - Svyrydenko emphasized.

She noted that in December the Ukrainian side received conditions (benchmarks) for three other clusters: 1 “Fundamentals of the EU accession process”, 2 “Internal market”, and 6 “External relations”.

“We are confidently moving along the planned path of European integration. The next steps are the successful closing of the clusters and the signing of the accession treaty, which will become the final step toward Ukraine’s full membership in the EU”, - the prime minister emphasized.

According to her, the document with the conditions received today is being immediately sent by the government to the Verkhovna Rada for joint work on their implementation.

Earlier German Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed doubt that Ukraine would become part of the EU before 2034.
