Ukraine’s achievements on its EU path have been admirable, says head of EU delegation

Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Ukraine Matti Maasikas says the country needs to focus and restart the asset declarations, which were canceled amid martial law.

"Over the last year, Ukraine's achievements on its EU path have been admirable. Now, let's focus on completing the few outstanding things by autumn. Some concern the political class as a whole, like the restoration of the asset declarations - a good test case for real commitment," he tweeted.

Earlier, the European Commission presented a new oral update on the progress Ukraine made on seven recommendations essential to implement to become an EU member.
