President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this on Facebook following a meeting with the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, and relevant deputies to the Head of the Presidential Office, according to Ukrinform.

"We have identified areas for more intensive cooperation with the European Union. This year, two clusters have already been opened in the negotiations on Ukraine’s accession to the European Union, and we are preparing to open four more. On our part, everything has been done to ensure a positive outcome. Together with Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi, the new Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Vsevolod Chentsov, and the relevant deputy heads of the Office, Serhii Kyslytsia and Ihor Zhovkva, we agreed on three priorities that must be implemented going forward," the head of state said.

According to Zelensky, Ukraine’s full accession to the European Union is viewed not only as a political or economic goal, but also as a security issue for both Ukraine and the European Union.

"It is precisely Ukraine’s accession to the European Union that will eliminate the geopolitical uncertainty that Russia has exploited for several decades to sow destabilization in both Ukraine and the European Union. On the other hand, together with Ukraine’s strength, the European Union will gain the necessary security capabilities, which will strengthen the European component of the Euro-Atlantic community,” Zelensky wrote.

At the same time, he noted that Ukraine must already be making the most of all opportunities for sectoral integration into the European Union.

“Ukraine must be perceived by all Europeans as an integral part of established European processes, and this should drive our political movement and the decisions of leaders and nations,” he emphasized, adding that Ukraine must build relationships at all levels in such a way as to secure the necessary packages and decisions to support resilience this winter.

“Relations with Brussels and European institutions, European capitals, and communities across Europe must be practical—focused on what can truly help protect lives in Ukraine. I am counting on results,” the head of state emphasized.

As previously reported, Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukrainian diplomats must do everything possible to ensure that decisions to support Ukraine, adopted at the NATO summit or at a meeting of the International Contact Group, are fully implemented.
