The European Commission has announced that Ukraine is ready to begin formal membership talks with the European Union, with Brussels stating that Ukraine has fulfilled additional four steps necessary for the negotiations. The talks are expected to start in June, ahead of Hungary taking over the EU's rotating presidency on July 1. This move is seen as a significant step in Ukraine's integration into European structures and is likely to upset Russia.
