UNP Working Group Initiatives 2026
The project “Support for the Activities of the Ukrainian National Platform of the EaP FGS in 2025-2026” noted that the goal of the initiatives should be to advocate for Ukraine’s membership in the EU through the use of the opportunities and instruments of the Eastern Partnership.
The members of the UNP Working Group decided that there are two cross-cutting priorities (consequences of the war/prospects for recovery and advocacy for EU membership) that should be reflected in the topics of the initiatives.
We thank the National Coordinator Ruslan Havrylyuk and the members of the Steering Committee for their ideas, suggestions, and work.
The event was held within the project “Supporting the Activities of the Ukrainian National Platform of the EaP CSF in 2025–2026,” implemented by the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting with financial support from the European Union.
