On June 15, Ukraine opened the first cluster of negotiations with the European Union. We talked about what this means for Ukraine with Yana Okhrimenko, Senior Economist at the Center for Economic Strategy, in a new episode of the podcast “What About the Economy?”. ▪️ Can Poland, like Hungary before it, block Ukraine’s accession to the EU? ▪️ How did Bulgaria and Romania become EU members despite warnings about corruption and organized crime? ▪️ Why is Ukraine unlikely to join the EU before 2034? Listen to the new episode of the podcast “What About the Economy?” on all podcast platforms and on Hromadske Radio.
