When and how the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine will end is difficult to assess at the moment. What is clear, however, is that Ukraine is amid a complex process of integration within the West. Apart from smart rebuilding efforts and credible security arrangements capable of safeguarding d Ukraine’s future, Kyiv’s EU integration is of particular importance for the country’s westward movement. Significant reforms are required to proceed towards EU membership negotiations. But it is not only Kyiv that has to do its homework. Ukraine’s move to Brussels sparks again the difficult debate on the relationship between deepening and widening the EU. How does the EU have to change to be fit for Ukraine? How to adapt the current EU enlargement policy – often described as hyper-technical and over-symbolized at the same time – to new geopolitical circumstances?
A few days before the decisive December EU summit we will bring together experts from across Europe to elaborate within an interactive idea workshop (see second conference day) key questions of the future development of the EU-Ukraine relation.
