The EU is convinced that Ukraine is ready to meet all the conditions for accession to the European Union.

"I think everyone can see that Ukraine is ready (to meet the conditions for EU accession. — Ed.)," the diplomat noted.

The European Commission stated that Ukraine was ready for negotiations more than a year ago, Maternova recalled.

"To take this step, we needed to achieve the necessary unanimity and consensus among member states. I mean, adopting a very complex set of laws and regulations is no easy task. As I always say, this will not be a linear process. But I think my colleagues are convinced that Ukraine is certainly capable of doing this," she explained.

The diplomat also noted that "the Rada could be mobilized."

"Several important laws were passed. The budget was approved, as well as a parliamentary resolution emphasizing the need to pay special attention to legislation on European integration," Maternova concluded.
