She talked about the most important reforms that we should implement.
President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen today spoke Verkhovna Rada. She noted that our country has a clear European perspective, but there is still a lot of time and hard work ahead on the way to membership. This is reported by Reuters.
“Ukraine now has a very clear European perspective. And Ukraine is a candidate country for joining the European Union, which seemed almost unbelievable just five months ago,” she said, adding that we have a long way to go. “Europe will be on by your side every step of the way, for as long as it takes, from these dark days of war until the moment you step through the door leading to our EU.”
Von der Leyen noted that on the way to the EU, Ukraine needs to implement many reforms, the most important ones should be done as soon as possible. It is about adopting a law on mass media, implementing new laws that reduce the excessive influence of oligarchs, and appointing senior officials to fight corruption.
