The European Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, has expressed her commitment and that of her team to Ukraine's accession process to the European Union. Kos believes that Ukraine's membership in the EU is crucial for providing security both to the country and to Europe as a whole. The Slovenian politician emphasizes the importance of gradual integration, based on merit and Ukraine's efforts, as foundations for a swift path to EU membership.
In this regard, Marta Kos stresses that membership in the European Union is the best guarantee of security for Ukraine and for all of Europe. Her statements come in the context of a willingness expressed by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the President of the European Council, António Costa, to accelerate Ukraine's accession process to the EU.
During a meeting on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, Von der Leyen, Costa, and Zelensky discussed the ongoing and stable support from the European Union to strengthen Ukraine's position in negotiations that seek a fair, global, and lasting peace. EU support is essential to provide Kiev with a strong position in these processes.
In summary, European authorities are committed to expediting Ukraine's accession process to the EU, recognizing the importance of this step for both Ukraine and the entirety of Europe in terms of security and stability in the region.
