Ukraine - November 2023
EU agrees to launch accession negotiations
The European Commission recommended that the European Union open accession negotiations with Ukraine on 8 November, and the members of the European Council unanimously agreed on 14 December. The move is symbolic and was celebrated by both Ukrainian and European political leaders, but it is not a guarantee of future membership. As a condition for future membership, the EU says Ukraine must continue to implement rule of law and justice sector reforms, strengthen anti-corruption institutions, and improve its track record of obtaining convictions in high level corruption cases, among other areas.
