Stefanishyna explained why it is important for Ukraine to have the EU at the table to end the war

The European Union has the right to participate in negotiations on ending Russia's war against Ukraine, as Ukraine's membership in the EU is already a done deal. In addition, the EU is a key geopolitical player that has the right to have its own position in this process.

This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olha Stefanishyna, answering a question about the role of the EU in the negotiations, UNN reports .

Because Ukraine's membership in the European Union is not an idea, not a dream, not a slogan. It is a decision that has already been made, and, accordingly, it is also a guarantee of security

According to Stefanishyna, the EU is one of the key geopolitical players, so it has the right to its own position and a place at the negotiating table.
