Details: Zelenskyy said that Ukraine’s final goal in European integration for next year is the opening of all negotiation clusters.
Quote: "During Poland's presidency of the European Union, we want to launch negotiations on at least two clusters... To be honest, we have a really ambitious goal: to open all clusters next year," the president stated.
Zelenskyy said that this required determined effort by the Ukrainian Parliament "without pre-election conversations".
Olha Stefanishyna, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, stated that Ukraine, along with Poland and Denmark – who will both chair the EU in 2025 – had developed a plan to launch membership negotiations.
