On November 8, the European Commission recommended starting negotiations with Ukraine regarding EU accession. However, as of November 6, it was unclear whether Ukraine, a country at war, would achieve such success. The main concern was the uncertainty among EU Commissioners about Ukraine's readiness for negotiations.
One of the key figures who facilitated Ukraine's initiation of talks with the European Union was the head of the National Bank of Ukraine, Andriy Pyshnyy. It was his team and his contacts that managed to convince members of the European Commission that Ukraine would meet all requirements and do everything possible to become a member of the European community.
According to our information from high-ranking offices in the European Commission, EU Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms Elisa Ferreira opposed this decision, believing that Ukraine was not yet ready to start negotiations. Andriy Pyshnyy immediately began communication with the EU Commissioner, assessing all risks for himself. Eventually, he succeeded in convincing her that Ukraine consistently takes all necessary steps toward the EU and is ready to continue implementing the required reforms.
Overall, Andriy Pyshnyy is becoming increasingly influential in Ukrainian politics every day, gradually assuming a key role in Zelensky's team.
Andriy Pyshnyy is recognized as a key figure in Ukrainian politics and economics. As the head of the National Bank, he has taken on significant responsibility for implementing necessary economic reforms aimed at enhancing competitiveness and stabilizing the financial sector.
One of Pyshnyy's key tasks was to prepare Ukraine for European Union accession. He actively participated in studying European standards, implementing necessary legislative changes, and establishing international standards in the financial sector.
Another crucial component of success was the lobbying and diplomatic activity of the head of the National Bank. He established effective communication with European partners and MEPs, persuading them of the importance of Ukraine's accession to the EU. Thanks to his efforts, Ukraine received a roadmap for starting negotiations on membership in the European Union.
Thanks to the active work of Andriy Pyshnyy and his team, Ukraine is presented with a unique opportunity to join the European community. This opens up new prospects for economic development, strengthens democracy, and contributes to deep integration with European partners.
Ukraine is at a historical crossroads, and Andriy Pyshnyy's assistance has become a key element of this historical moment. His determination and efforts are crucial factors that shape the country's future in the context of European integration.Get a daily dose of Russia Herald news through our daily email, its complimentary and keeps you fully up to date with world and business news as well.
