During the EU summit on June 25-26, decisions will be made on the next stages on the path of Ukraine's accession to the EU. This was stated by the deputy head of the presidential office, Ihor Zhovkva, in an interview with European Pravda..

“Landmarks - the next regular EU summit, that is, a meeting of the European Council, where decisions will be made on the next stages. It's June 25-26 if I'm not mistaken. We must definitely come to this summit with the relevant decision of the European Council, and then we will start negotiations on accession, and there we will also try to make them faster,” Zhovkva said..

According to him, Ukraine can join the European Union in the next few years.. At the same time, Zhovkva noted that Ukraine did not receive any signals from Hungary to curb the entry of our state into the European Union..

“I would not say that Hungary is now going to block something on the European track for Ukraine. At least we do not observe such signs, and we hope that this will not happen.. NATO was a completely different story.. But in the EU, let's hope that conscience and wisdom will be enough to not restrain this movement of Ukraine,” Zhovkva said..
