Ukraine’s EU Path: Progress, Obstacles, and What Comes Next
Ukraine’s EU accession has accelerated since 2022, but full membership remains uncertain.
In this episode, Olena Yermakova, Head of Research at KI Insights, speaks with Fredrik Wesslau, Director of EPIK, about what has changed in the EU’s approach to Ukraine, the key political and structural obstacles still in place, and what realistic pathways forward could look like — including scenarios that move Ukraine closer to the EU without full membership.
This episode was recorded on April 1, 2026.
Produced by KI Insights, the analytical unit backed by The Kyiv Independent.
