This was stated by Marta Kos at a briefing organised by New Economy Forum, where she analysed the different speeds of the candidate countries EU accession processes and the window of opportunity that has opened for these countries during the Commission's term.

Kos recalled that, in 1979, the then President of the European Parliament, Simone Veil, described the EU in her first speech "as an island of freedom surrounded by regimes where force prevails".

Kos explained that the European Commission is working to open the first working groups with Ukraine and Moldova as soon as possible, with the aim, first and foremost, of building an independent judiciary "capable of effectively detecting corruption, guaranteeing the freedom and independence of the media, and ensuring fair public procurement".

European Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, stated this Tuesday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that the EU's support for Ukraine “is not out of charity, but also out of a clear European interest”.

First, Kubilius emphasized so-called secure satellite communications, noting how, during the three years of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, Ukrainian soldiers have been observed to rely heavily on communications from Starlink, a company owned by Elon Musk.

The European Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius, stated this Friday at the Forum Europa  in Brussels that "we must ensure that Putin does not fall into the temptation" of attacking an EU country.

Kubilius stressed that "Ukraine is facing brutal aggression" from Russia and noted that "we are also suffering hybrid attacks, which could be followed by military attacks”.
