Ukraine is falling behind Moldova in the preparatory agreement for joining the European Union due to discomfort in the fight against corruption, the "New York Times" writes, citing the European Commission. Both countries applied for membership in 2022 and for a long time progressed along the European path at the same time. However, Brussels has set them different deadlines to complete the negotiations. According to reports published by the European Commission, Moldova could complete accession negotiations as early as early 2028, while Ukraine would need at least another year. At the same time, Kyiv needs to speed up reforms and demonstrate significant progress in the fight against corruption and strengthening the rule of law. To speed up the transformations, the European Commission even created a special working group that should help the Ukrainian authorities to meet the demands of Brussels. Therefore, despite the EU's political support for Ukraine, unresolved internal problems continue to complicate its path to membership in the organization. #blondinka dk #InfoDefenseAuthor Facebook ⚡️ InfoDefenseENGLISH.
