This is very good news. Ursula von der Leyen

Today, June 25, official negotiations for Ukraine's membership in the European Union are set to begin. In connection with this, Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, has already congratulated the Ukrainians.

“Congratulations to Moldova and Ukraine on the start of negotiations regarding membership. This is very good news for Ukraine, Moldova, and all the people of the European Union. The road ahead will be difficult, but full of opportunities. We wish for a successful start to the negotiations,” she stated.

It should be noted that the start of the negotiations for EU membership is scheduled for today in Luxembourg. Earlier, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba announced that by the end of the negotiations, Ukraine would be merely three steps away from full EU membership.
