President Zelenskyy: This year should be as productive in Ukraine’s EU accession negotiations as required to meet Ukraine’s needs

“This year should be as productive in Ukraine’s EU accession negotiations as required to meet Ukraine’s needs and, therefore, strengthen the security of all Europe. This year, the EU Presidency will be held first by Poland, and in the second half of the year by Denmark,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on Jan. 7.

I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!

Today, we also discussed some details of our engagement with the European Union – regarding the negotiation process. The Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, Government officials, and the Office team were present. This year should be as productive in Ukraine’s EU accession negotiations as required to meet Ukraine’s needs and, therefore, strengthen the security of all Europe. This year, the EU Presidency will be held first by Poland, and in the second half of the year by Denmark. They are very responsible partners of ours. From the Ukrainian side, we will ensure everything necessary to take the right steps.
