Ukraine is set to officially launch membership talks with the European Union, marking a significant milestone in the country's aspirations to deepen ties with the EU. The talks, scheduled to begin on Tuesday, come more than two years into Ukraine's conflict with Russia.
Deputy prime minister for European and Euro-Atlantic integration will lead Ukraine's delegation at an intergovernmental conference in Luxembourg to align the country's laws and standards with those of the 27-nation bloc. Moldova, which applied for EU membership after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, will also participate in a separate intergovernmental conference to kick off its own accession process.
