Marta Kos

Marta Kos is the EU Commissioner for Enlargement Policy. She is currently newsworthy due to her critical assessment of Ukraine's progress on implementing necessary reforms for EU accession. According to a letter reportedly sent to Ukrainian Parliament President Ruslan Stefanchuk on March 30th, as reported by the Kyiv Independent, Kos stated that Ukraine failed to implement eleven due reforms in 2025 alone. These reforms reportedly concern sectors such as the railway system and the judiciary. Her assessment highlights concerns within the EU regarding the pace of Ukraine's reform efforts, particularly in areas like anti-corruption measures, which are crucial for its potential EU membership. This assessment contrasts with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's stated goal of Ukraine being technically ready to join the EU by 2027, adding to the debate surrounding the feasibility and timeline of Ukraine's EU accession.
