According to him, in order to join the EU, Kyiv must take "appropriate steps forward" in its legislation.
Because of the war, we chose this path of putting maximum pressure primarily on ourselves. Putting a little pressure on others from the outside as well, so that we could go through this path faster than others. This is also fair, because we are defending Ukraine and defending all of Europe
He stressed that "realistically, we can open all the clusters if we do a little of our homework and our partners do a little as well".
