Background:

• Recently, Ukraine received from EU member states a detailed list of requirements, the fulfilment of which will determine the country's readiness for accession. The EU will use these criteria to assess whether Kyiv has met the conditions for membership.
• European Pravda recently published this list in the article: Full EU benchmarks for Ukraine: what Kyiv must do to join
• Meanwhile, the EU emphasises that the decision on any possible fast-track accession of Ukraine will be taken by the member states.
