The member states of the European Union have given their consent to start negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova on the first cluster of topics within the accession talks. The information was announced late on Wednesday evening, June 3, 2026, by Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko on the social network X, and was confirmed by Kyiv. hnonline.sk ↗
The decision represents the first concrete step in the next phase of the accession process for both countries. Ukraine and Moldova are thus moving closer to negotiations on areas that are a prerequisite for future membership in the Union. According to the published information, Hungary is no longer blocking the opening of the first parts of the negotiations, which had until now been seen as an obstacle to Kyiv's progress. irozhlas.cz ↗
The Ukrainian side is presenting the decision as a significant shift after a period of uncertainty in the accession process. The topic is also linked to broader diplomatic events in Kyiv, where on June 3 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. e15.cz ↗
Further developments will depend on how quickly the negotiations on individual topics can be formally opened and what position the member states maintain in subsequent steps. The accession process remains a long-term one, conditional on meeting the requirements of the European Union. svet.sme.sk ↗
