Ukraine sets out on long path to EU membership
==========
Ukraine has officially opened EU accession talks and is committed to meeting the bloc's standards. The country has already made significant progress under an association agreement with the EU, including securing a visa-free regime. Ukraine was approved as a candidate for EU membership in June 2022. The process of negotiations can take years or even decades, but Ukrainian officials are determined to work diligently. The country must align its laws and standards with those of the EU in 35 policy areas. The negotiations will require consolidated efforts from all sectors of society and political factions. Ukraine is ready to proceed with negotiations and reunite with its European family. The path to EU membership for Ukraine is compared to that of Poland, which completed its negotiations in five years. The EU must be enlarged for its survival and Ukraine's membership will be a key component of the peacebuilding process in Europe.
