Granting Ukraine the candidate status for joining the EU is a “moment of truth” in relations between Kyiv and Brussels
Ukraine’s passing of the next stage of European integration was lightning-fast.
On 28 February 2022, Kyiv applied to join the European Union. On 1 March, the European Parliament supported the granting of candidate status to Ukraine. And already on 9 May the European Commission received the second part of the completed EU “questionnaire”. It is expected that at the June EU Summit, a decision will be made on granting Ukraine the status of a candidate for joining the European Union.
But this decision will hardly be easy for the European Union. This is a kind of "moment of truth" in the relations between Kyiv and Brussels.
