The next Ukraine-EU summit will be held on February 3 in Brussels, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi has already received an invitation to the event.
The spokesman of the President of the European Council, Charles Michel Barend Leits, informed the Interfax-Ukraine agency about this on Thursday in Brussels.
"I can confirm that the Ukraine-EU summit will take place on February 3, there is an open invitation to President Zelenskyі to visit Brussels," he said.
Thus, the EU will not hold a meeting this year. According to the Association Agreement, the Ukraine-EU summit is an annual event. The last, the 23rd summit, took place in October 2021 in Kyiv.
The 2022 summit was planned to take place in December, and it was supposed to take place in Brussels. On the Ukrainian side, there were preliminary announcements regarding its holding.
However, in the end, it was decided to postpone the summit to the beginning of 2023. According to "European Pravda" sources, among the reasons for the delay was the lack of real results of such a meeting; in particular, as is known, the EU side had problems until the last moment even with approving the package of macro-financial assistance promised within the framework of the G7 in the amount of 18 billion euros.
