Matti Maasikas, the EU Ambassador to Ukraine, advises resuming e-declaration for officials following an interim assessment of the seven recommendations by the European Commission.

"Over the last year, Ukraine's achievements on its EU path have been admirable. Now, let's focus on completing the few outstanding things by autumn. Some concern the political class as a whole, like restoration of the asset declarations – a good test case for real commitment," Maasikas wrote on Twitter.

The Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) suspended mandatory asset declaration by officials in the early stages of the war, allowing them to submit their wealth data only after lifting martial law.

On Thursday, the European Commission presented an oral assessment of Ukraine's progress on the path to the EU. The European Commission believes Ukraine has fully met two out of seven conditions necessary to start accession negotiations, with progress made on the remaining conditions.

As mentioned by "European Pravda," the European Commission's report on Ukraine is generally positive and aims to assist Kyiv in addressing several issues. Although, there are multiple challenges that Brussels does not consider insurmountable.
