Ukraine finally hits the 'serious' stage of EU membership
The first negotiation cluster is open, and for once, the bureaucracy feels like it's actually moving.
So, the EU just opened the first negotiation cluster, dubbed "Fundamentals," and it is officially the point of no return. Taras Kachka , our man on the ground, says this shifts everything into a final practical gear. No fluff, no alternatives, just the long road to full membership.
We are talking about the heavy lifting: rule of law, democracy, and economic basics. The plan is to wrap up these reforms in the next few years, mostly because reality isn't giving us much of a choice. The goal is set, and it’s non-negotiable.
The best part? Once the ink is metaphorical-dry on this one, there are five more clusters waiting to be tackled. Brussels expects to get those rolling in weeks, not years.
A long-distance marathon is officially entering the final sprint.
