Details: The head of state emphasized that Ukraine needs to join the European Union, so next year it is necessary to do the maximum for this in the process of negotiations and in the development of relations with partners in the European Union.
“That’s why Poland’s presidency, and Denmark’s in the second half of the year, in the EU should become historic for Ukraine,” he said.
At all levels in the EU – from the highest institutions to public leaders – Ukraine’s voice must sound confident, concrete and convincing, Zelenskyi emphasized.
For reference: Poland will begin to preside over the EU Council on January 1, and Denmark on July 1, 2025.
What preceded: On December 17, Zelenskyi said that Ukraine aims to open at least two clusters in the EU accession negotiations in 2025, and the maximum goal is all clusters.
The President noted that this requires the active work of the Verkhovna Rada “without pre-election talks.”
Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Olga Stefanishyna reported that Ukraine, together with Poland and Denmark, have drawn up a plan to open negotiation chapters on accession.
