Ukraine implemented reforms that the European Commission pointed out as unmet in its 2022 report.

Ukrainian authorities have taken all necessary steps to initiate negotiations for EU membership, which the European Commission highlighted as unmet in its 2022 conclusion. This information is detailed in the updated EU enlargement report that "Radio Liberty" has had the opportunity to review.
В 2022 году Еврокомиссия отметила, что Украина осуществила реформы, выполнение которых было ранее рекомендовано в её отчетах.

According to journalists, the document will be made public on October 30. It states that Ukraine "has continued to promote integrity and merit in the judicial system," as well as strengthened its anti-corruption institutional framework, enhancing outcomes in corruption cases involving high-level authorities.

The European Commission noted Kyiv's efforts regarding the rights of national minorities, which Hungary has insisted upon.

"Ukraine has also revised its legislation to protect the rights of individuals belonging to national minorities. Restrictions on fundamental rights related to martial law remain generally proportional," quotes the document from "Radio Free Europe."

At the same time, EU officials emphasize the need for continued reforms in combating corruption and organized crime. The European Commission urges Ukrainian authorities to more actively apply legislation on national minorities, continue reforms in public governance, and decentralize the energy sector.

The screening of Ukrainian legislation for compliance with European standards, as stated in the report, "is progressing smoothly." The European Commission highlights Ukraine's ratification of the Rome Statute and underscores the necessity of aligning national legislation with it.

"If Ukraine meets all the conditions, the Commission looks forward to opening negotiations on clusters [negotiation sections] as soon as possible in 2025," concluded the European Commission.
