✅✅ Eurointegration legislation must be protected from political manipulation, — diplomat Kostyantyn Yeliseyev.
In the article “Five Steps to the EU: Why Heroism Alone Is Not Enough for Ukraine’s Accession to the European Union,” the diplomat notes that the honesty of reforms must be a priority on the path to the EU.
If decisions are made under European slogans that actually contradict European principles, that will very quickly destroy trust, and trust is the main currency of the negotiation process.
“If we are talking about judicial reform, it must genuinely strengthen the independence of the courts.
If we are talking about anti-corruption, then NABU, SAP, and other institutions must be independent, and the SBI must be reformed.
If we are talking about parliament, it must be a place of real discussion, oversight, and quality lawmaking, not formal voting,” the author notes.
He emphasizes that the EU will look not only at the texts of laws but also at the political context, procedures, inclusiveness, transparency, and the real impact of reforms on institutions.
That is precisely why eurointegration legislation must be as protected as possible from political manipulation.
The European Commission will give a kind of objective assessment of the Ukrainian authorities’ achievements on the path to the EU at the end of this year in its regular annual report on Ukraine’s progress 2026.
“So far, judging by the first signals from institutions and the capitals of EU member states, our authorities face serious tests,” Yeliseyev added.
