At this stage, the absolute priority is to open all clusters,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n   <p>Kos acknowledged that the concept of \u201creverse enlargement,\u201d previously promoted by the European Commission, was ultimately rejected by EU member states. However, member states have now chosen an intermediate approach under which candidate countries, including Ukraine, could receive benefits similar to those of membership before formally joining the EU.<\/p>\n   <p>According to her, the driving force behind this process is Ukraine itself, as well as the determination of key member states to help Ukraine move toward accession.<\/p>\n   <p>This was also the idea behind German Chancellor Friedrich Merz\u2019s proposal for a special framework for Ukraine.<\/p>\n    <blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cWhen peace is achieved in Ukraine, the question of Ukraine\u2019s accession to the EU will become a major issue and will be at the center of political debates at the highest level. Before that, we need to resolve the methodological questions. We must determine how to anchor Ukraine deeply within the EU. If we fail to do so, it will lead to disappointment,\u201d the commissioner said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n    <blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cWe need to understand where exactly we can integrate Ukraine more deeply even before full membership. That is why I am increasingly engaging with all member states on this issue. We do not yet know what the outcome of the leaders\u2019 discussions will be, but one thing is certain: whatever option is chosen, the rule of law will be at its core,\u201d Marta Kos stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n   <p>She also expressed confidence that Russia would attempt to undermine any such arrangements.<\/p>\n    <blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThe closer we get to accession, the more Russia will strike at Ukraine. And when I say \u2018strike,\u2019 I do not mean only in the military sense,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n   <p>It is worth recalling that on June 3, Hungarian Prime Minister P\u00e9ter Magyar stated that Hungary and Ukraine had reached a \u201ccomprehensive agreement\u201d regarding the Hungarian national minority.<\/p>\n   <p>At the same time, EU ambassadors began urgent preparations for opening the first negotiating cluster for Ukraine and Moldova.<\/p>\n   <p><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/eu-commissioner-kos-names-date-for-official-launch-of-ukraine-s-accession-talks\/\">EU Commissioner Kos names date for official launch of Ukraine\u2019s accession talks<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos believes that the ongoing debate on &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":1248882,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,14,49,51,36415,36422,55,50,36572],"tags":[76,78,72926],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1385382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-ukraine","category-news-en","category-europe-en","category-11473-news-en","category-11473-news-en-3","category-ukraine-en","category-svit-en","category-11473-ukraine-en-news-en-5","tag-glavnoe-en","tag-homepage-en","tag-ukraine-s-allies-aid"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ukraine Should Integrate into the EU Before Full Membership, Framework Still Being Discussed, \u2014 EU Commisioner - Freedom<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/ukraine-should-integrate-into-the-eu-before-full-membership-framework-still-being-discussed-eu-commisioner\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ukraine Should Integrate into the EU Before Full Membership, Framework Still Being Discussed, \u2014 EU Commisioner - Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos believes that the ongoing debate on ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/ukraine-should-integrate-into-the-eu-before-full-membership-framework-still-being-discussed-eu-commisioner\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-06-10T14:16:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/marta-kos-1300x750-1-820x472.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"820\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"472\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/ukraine-should-integrate-into-the-eu-before-full-membership-framework-still-being-discussed-eu-commisioner\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/ukraine-should-integrate-into-the-eu-before-full-membership-framework-still-being-discussed-eu-commisioner\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Danylo Shportilo\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/f4fe8d6d08deebcdee69f6671576d2d2\"},\"headline\":\"Ukraine Should Integrate into the EU Before Full Membership, Framework Still Being Discussed, \u2014 EU Commisioner\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-06-10T14:16:00+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/ukraine-should-integrate-into-the-eu-before-full-membership-framework-still-being-discussed-eu-commisioner\/\"},\"wordCount\":445,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/ukraine-should-integrate-into-the-eu-before-full-membership-framework-still-being-discussed-eu-commisioner\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/marta-kos-1300x750-1.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"\u0413\u043b\u0430\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0435\",\"\u041d\u0430 \u0433\u043b\u0430\u0432\u043d\u0443\u044e (\u0441\u043b\u0430\u0439\u0434\u0435\u0440)\",\"Ukraine\u2019s Allies &amp;
