Как влияние польского председательства в ЕС скажется на Украине с начала нового года: мнение посла.
Starting in 2025, Poland will assume the presidency of the Council of the European Union, and Ukraine is counting on substantial support from its Polish partners in the process of European integration.

The prospects for cooperation between Ukraine and the EU in 2025 are reported by Glavpost, citing geopolityka.org.

According to Ukraine's ambassador to Poland, Vasyl Bodnar, the Polish presidency will create new opportunities for enhancing cooperation between the countries. One of Ukraine's priorities will be to expedite negotiations for EU membership, including the opening of new chapters. However, the ambassador emphasized that it will not be possible to resolve all tasks within the six-month term of Poland's presidency, and the process will be gradual.

“We are counting on Poland's assistance in internal communication with the European Union, as well as in working with its capitals to ensure support for our European integration,” noted Bodnar.

An important aspect of cooperation will also be expert assistance in training specialists and preparing representatives of Ukraine's government bodies to meet EU requirements.
