ANNOUNCEMENT / Is Ukraine Delivering on EU Reforms? Experts to Discuss First Independent “Membership Check” Findings

⚡️9 out of 100: Experts Rate Progress on the “Kachka-Kos Plan” as Critically Low.

A coalition of eight think tanks and civil society organizations, led by the New Europe Center, has released the first report of the “Membership Check” initiative, which monitors the implementation of reforms required for Ukraine’s EU membership. The analysis covers 10 priorities agreed upon by Ukraine and the EU in December 2025, known as the “Kachka-Kos Plan.” The Ukrainian government has set a 12-month timeframe (until the end of 2026) to implement the plan. However, based on the results of the first quarter, expert analysis indicates that key reforms remain largely at the stage of preparation or discussion of legislative changes, with little to no real progress so far.

Join an expert discussion featuring Ukrainian analysts on the first results of the Membership Check initiative. The discussion will focus on the implementation of key reforms, highlighting where progress is being made — and where it is falling critically short.
