Just a decade ago, Ukraine’s European future was seen as an aspiration. Today, Ukrainians are debating timelines and terms for joining one of the world’s most influential political and economic unions.

What are the key requirements set by the European Union? Ukraine has received the European Union’s accession conditions for the three final negotiation clusters, according to Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.

Hungary has called for easing sanctions on Russian oil amid volatile energy markets following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, creating a rift with the EU and Ukraine.

Top European Union officials said Tuesday they have offered to pay Ukraine to repair a damaged pipeline meant to carry crude oil to Hungary in a bid to persuade the government in Budapest to lift its veto on a massive aid package to the war-wracked country.
