Long-term budget programs of the European Union should take into account Ukraine’s future membership in the EU, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga stressed.
During a discussion at the 20th Yalta European Strategy (YES) meeting in Kiev, the minister said that Ukraine needs macro-financial assistance and long-term support programs. According to him, the EU needs to build its policy now “through the paradigm that Ukraine is already a member of the European Union.”
“In accordance with the EU procedures, the process of preparing a 7-year budget for 2028-2034 starts in February 2025. It is very important that this budget already reflects this philosophy and logic. The logic of Ukraine’s enlargement and membership in the EU. This is very, very important, and we hope that our partners support this project,” Sibiga said.
According to the foreign minister, after World War II, one of the key goals of the founding of the EU was “to overcome war as a way of thinking and politics, and this idea remains relevant today.”
“There must be a clear realization that only Ukraine’s victory guarantees a secure future for Europe. We must be more decisive, act faster and with more confidence in our decision-making. Europe must also build up its defense capabilities,” he said.
Sibiga also assured European partners of Ukraine’s responsible work on the way to unification of domestic and foreign policy with the EU and careful fulfillment of its “homework”.
“In the field of foreign policy, Ukraine will ensure full harmonization with the EU and aims to join 100 percent of EU statements,” he said.

Ukrainian businessman Ihor Kolomoisky and seven other people have lost their “golden passports of Cyprus” after the republic’s authorities confirmed that they were obtained through fraud, misrepresentation and concealment of material facts, the Cypriot newspaper Phileleftheros reports.
“The decision, made on April 9, 2024, mentions that both before and after naturalization, he (Kolomoisky) was and remains a dubious person, and his naturalization has created and is creating a huge risk to the reputation of the Republic of Cyprus,” the newspaper writes.
It is noted that the key role in the decision was played by the fact that in his application for exceptional naturalization Kolomoisky did not mention anything related to the case of tax evasion in Russia, which was investigated by the Russian authorities in 2008, while his naturalization as a Cypriot took place two years later, in June 2010.
It is emphasized that Kolomoisky, in addition to his Cypriot citizenship, has also held Israeli and Ukrainian citizenship since 1995. At the same time, it is reported that he is being prosecuted in Ukraine on a number of episodes, as well as that the US State Department has banned him, his wife and children from entering the United States in 2021 due to his involvement in corruption during his tenure as head of the Dnipro Regional Administration.
“After an investigation by the Independent Commission, it was found that Kolomoisky was involved in serious crimes that attracted wide international attention from public and private entities with significant negative comments and accusations of fraud involving huge sums of money,” the newspaper states.
