Ukraine and the European Commission will hold a meeting on the results of the implementation of 7 EU “candidate recommendations” essential for becoming an EU member on 22 June, says European Commission spokesperson Ana Pisonero, as per Interfax.
Four days after Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February, the country applied for EU membership. On 23 June of the same year, EU leaders made the decision to grant Ukraine the status of a candidate for EU membership. However, this decision was accompanied by seven reforms that Kyiv must fulfill in order to initiate accession negotiations.
