Eurointergation of Ukraine
EI is the rapprochement of Ukraine with the European Union both at the level of laws and customs existing in society. Its ultimate result should be accession of Ukraine to the EU
The rapprochement of Ukraine with the European Union both at the level of laws and at the level of rules and customs existing in society. The course towards European integration is a natural consequence of Ukraine gaining independence. Its origins lie in the history of our people and awareness of the right to live in a democratic, economically developed, socially oriented country. Its goal is to create, through large-scale internal transformations, the conditions for joining the community of European developed countries.
