Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasised that there are no fundamental obstacles to this process.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<div class=\"summary-title\">Briefly about the main points<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Ukraine is hoping to open five new rounds of negotiations with the EU.<\/li>\n<li>Zelenskyy thanked Cyprus for its successful presidency of the Council of the EU.<\/li>\n<li>The President called for tougher sanctions against Russia.<\/li>\n<li>The \u2018Drone Deal\u2019 initiative to strengthen defence capabilities is currently under discussion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Launch of new rounds of negotiations with the EU<\/h2>\n<p>President of Ukraine <strong>Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/strong> During his speech at the opening ceremony of Ireland\u2019s Presidency of the Council of the EU, which began its term on 1 July, he expressed his hope that five new clusters of negotiations on Ukraine\u2019s membership of the European Union would be opened. \u201cThere are no substantive obstacles to this,\u201d he stressed, emphasising that Ukraine is keen to move forward on the path to European integration as dynamically as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Zelenskyy also thanked Cyprus for a productive six months, during which the negotiation process was launched and the first cluster was opened. \u201cOver the past six months, we have managed to open the first cluster and officially begin negotiations on <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/politics\/perehovory-pro-vstup-ukrainy-do-yes-zavershatsia-u-2028\/\">Ukraine\u2019s accession to the EU<\/a>\u201c, \u2014 he said.<\/p>\n<h2>Security and Countering Aggression<\/h2>\n<p>The President of Ukraine emphasised the importance of countering aggression from the Russian Federation. He noted that world leaders, including <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong>, made it clear to Moscow that the war must come to an end. As the Kremlin has shown no willingness to halt its aggression, Zelenskyy has called on Europe and its partners to create conditions under which it would be impossible for Russia to continue the war.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUkraine\u2019s strategy of long-range strikes against the enemy\u2019s military and oil facilities plays a significant role in this,\u201d said the President, highlighting the aggressor\u2019s vulnerability.<\/p>\n<h2>A breakthrough in defence cooperation: the Drone Deal initiative<\/h2>\n<p>Zelenskyy paid particular attention to the initiative <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/economics\/pershi-kontrakty-drone-deal-vzhe-na-zatverdzhenni-umyerov\/\">Drone Deal<\/a>, which Kyiv has proposed to the European Union. He expressed his hope for a real breakthrough in this area over the next six months. A number of bilateral defence agreements have already been concluded with European countries, which will form the foundation for scaling up Ukrainian developments in the field of unmanned and anti-drone systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cModern means of monitoring airspace and maritime borders are a critical necessity for every EU Member State,\u201d Zelenskyy emphasised, highlighting Ukraine\u2019s technological expertise, which is capable of significantly strengthening pan-European defence capabilities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0423 \u043b\u0438\u043f\u043d\u0456
