As Ukraine pushes for a fast-tracked entry to the EU, senior European officials say they are worried about progress on key reforms needed to secure the country’s European aspirations.
Ukraine failed to complete 11 reforms in the last three months of 2025 required to unlock European funds, according to RRR4U, a consortium of Ukrainian think tanks, and is on track to miss more reforms in the first three months of 2026 — putting a total of five billion euros ($5.8 billion) of EU funding at risk.
Four senior EU officials working closely on Ukraine matters told the Kyiv Independent that the reduced appetite to pursue reforms could undermine support for the country’s EU membership, as well as future private sector investment in the country.
