Recall

On March 12 , the European Commission presented to the EU Council proposals for a draft negotiation framework for Ukraine and Moldova's accession to the EU.

After the EU Council adopts the negotiation framework, the rotating Presidency of the EU Council will present the agreed common EU position at the first intergovernmental conference with each country, marking the official start of accession negotiations. 

Politico reported that despite the European Commission's proposal of a negotiating framework now, an agreement to start formal negotiations is unlikely before the June 2024 European Parliament elections.
