EU to Resume Membership Talks with Ukraine and Moldova After Hungarian Veto Lifted
The European Union is set to resume membership negotiations with Ukraine on Monday, following the removal of a long-standing veto by Hungary's new government. This decision, which also includes Moldova, signifies a unified stance among all EU member states to open the first phase of accession talks. The move is viewed as a renewed gesture of support for Kyiv amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
The European Union will recommence membership negotiations with Ukraine on Monday. This development follows the lifting of a previous veto by Hungary's new government.
The initial veto had been imposed by former prime minister Viktor Orban, hindering Ukraine's progress towards EU membership. The reversal by Hungary's current administration has paved the way for the talks to proceed.
EU leaders have confirmed that all member states have reached an agreement to initiate the first phase of accession discussions. These talks will encompass both Ukraine and Moldova.
This collective decision by EU members represents a fresh demonstration of support for Kyiv, particularly in the context of Russia's ongoing war in the region.
According to France 24, the resumption of negotiations is a significant step in Ukraine's and Moldova's bids for closer integration with the European Union.
