Mykhailo Pashkov on Freedom TV tells about the factors that really shape Ukraine's path to the European Union: not calendar dates, but real reforms, readiness of individual states and internal processes in the EU. He explains why the war simultaneously accelerates integration and creates new challenges, while fully-fledged membership can radically change Ukraine's economy and political weight.
