Ukraine making “achievements” on EU membership – Burke

EU Minister Peter Burke says it’s “incredible” to see the progress Ukraine is making on its work to become an EU member state. He made the comments following a breakfast meeting between EU ministers and Ukraine’s deputy prime minister for European integration in Brussels this morning.

Ukraine was granted EU candidate status in June 2022 by unanimous agreement between the leaders of all EU member states. That candidate status was granted on the understanding that Ukraine takes key steps required to join the bloc. The European Commission is monitoring that progress.  

Minister Burke is attending an EU General Affairs council meeting today in the Belgian capital.

Out words: that progression
