ВЕРЕСЕНЬ VS ШЕВЧЕНКО: Шлях до Євросоюзу — умова успіху чи помилка українських політиків?

💬 This is an interview with Igor Shevchenko, Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine (2014–2015), Director of the Institute of State Efficiency. In a conversation with Mykola Veresny, he offers a critical view of Ukraine's European integration, explains why joining the European Union does not mean automatic growth in welfare, what requirements Ukraine will have to meet, and why the main challenge will not be membership itself, but the country's ability to work according to European rules. From this interview you will learn: 🔹 Why do Ukrainians often have inflated expectations from joining the European Union? 🔹 What economic changes will Ukrainian business, the agricultural sector, and state institutions have to undergo after integration into the EU? 🔹 Why does the European market mean not only new opportunities, but also fierce competition, standards and restrictions? 🔹 How will European rules affect Ukrainian farmers, producers, and product exports? 🔹 Why do the fight against corruption, the rule of law, and state effectiveness remain the main conditions for Ukraine's successful integration into the European Union? 🔴 Watch if you want to understand what EU membership really means, what changes await Ukraine after accession, and why European integration is primarily a responsibility and daily work, not just a political decision.
