Zelensky says Ukraine ready to launch six clusters for EU integration
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made this statement in an evening address, according to Ukrinform.
He said that Ukraine is already preparing for diplomatic events next week. “Things are going to be very busy starting Monday.”
“The European Union has confirmed its readiness to open the first cluster, and this gives new momentum to our negotiations on Ukraine’s accession to the European Union. We have done absolutely everything to achieve this progress, and I am grateful to everyone who helped and to everyone who works for our country,” the head of state emphasized.
Zelensky noted that Ukraine is ready for the opening of six clusters and expects to achieve more results toward integration into the European Union this summer. “At least on our part, there will be no delays. And it is very important that our partners also fully grasp the significance of this process,” Zelensky stressed.
As reported by Ukrinform, last week the Council of the EU officially launched the process of formally opening Cluster 1 “Fundamentals” in the negotiations on the accession of Ukraine and Moldova to the European Union.
The Cypriot Presidency of the EU Council is convening Intergovernmental Conferences on accession with Ukraine and Moldova on Monday, June 15, to open Cluster 1 “Fundamentals.”
