According to him, European Commissioner for Enlargement Martha Kos urgently appealed to the Verkhovna Rada.

On March 16, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine Taras Kachka said that during 2026, the Ukrainian authorities plan to fulfill all EU requirements necessary for accession.
To do this, the Rada needs to adopt about 300 bills, the most important of which relate to the judicial and law enforcement systems, as well as the fight against corruption.
Context
January 16 Financial Times reported that the European Commission is preparing proposals on revising the EU accession system and replacing it with a model that could speed up the annexation of Ukraine. On January 25, the European Commission confirmed that Ukraine’s accession to the European Union is being discussed in the context of security guarantees for Kyiv. However, they noted that there are no clear dates for joining.
On February 10, Politico reported that the E.U. is developing a five-point plan according to which Ukraine will be able to join the union as early as 2027.
President Vladimir Zelensky stated that by 2027 Ukraine will technically be ready to become a member of the EU.
According to Reuters, a number of European Union countries, including France, Germany, are skeptical about Ukraine's accelerated accession to the EU. Among their concerns is that Ukraine, after joining, will not continue reforms, such as the fight against corruption, the media wrote.
In an interview with RBC-Ukraine, Kachka confirmed that some EU member countries want to make sure that reforms are implemented in Ukraine and wait another 10-20 years to join the bloc.
