This was stated by Ihor Chalenko, head of the Center for Analysis and Strategies, during the European Space program with Yurii Fizer on Espreso TV.“The attitude of our partners toward Ukraine has not changed. We will continue to receive financial assistance at the same pace, tied to the obligations we’ve already undertaken. However, the largest tranche we were supposed to receive under the Ukraine Facility was reduced from €4.5 billion to just over €3 billion. Why? Because three out of the 16 benchmarks were not met,” Chalenko explained.He added that this pragmatic approach from the EU regarding financial support is likely to continue. However, when it comes to actual EU integration, Ukraine has, unfortunately, strengthened the position of those within the EU who oppose its accession."Hungary and Slovakia can now demonstrate that they are not the only outliers on the issue of Ukraine's accession to the EU. They can now point to specific facts — particularly the case of July 22. Despite the fact that the issue is now partly resolved and there are positive signals from Ursula von der Leyen," he added."As for European integration, I believe that at this stage, unfortunately, we’ve somewhat closed that window of opportunity. And I think we’ll be able to talk about the next push only in 2026," Chalenko concluded.Ukrainian MP Mykola Kniazhytskyi noted that the adoption of the controversial Law No. 12414 concerning NABU and SAPO had negative consequences for Ukraine's European integration — the negotiation process for joining the EU has effectively been paused, while Moldova continues to move forward.
