Ukraine expects the European Union to approve a framework for negotiations on its accession to the EU in June, paving the way for the start of the negotiation process, according to Deputy Prime Minister Olga Stefanishyna.

The decision to approve the negotiation framework, which will launch the negotiation process on Ukraine's accession to the European Union, is expected in June. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olha Stefanishyna, an UNN correspondent reports.

"We have clear agreements with European institutions. Last week, a delegation from the European Commission visited Ukraine, where we established a clear calendar of events. Therefore, we are looking forward to June, when the negotiation framework will be approved. Next week, I will be in Brussels to attend a meeting of European ministers of foreign affairs, who are expected to make this decision in June. Our forecasts are quite optimistic and, first of all, we work with EU member states. These are countries that support us, as well as countries that have certain reservations," Stefanishyna said.

She reminded that negotiations with Slovakia and Hungary had recently been held to approve the negotiation framework.
