The Verkhovna Rada intends to pass most of the bills necessary for Ukraine to join the European Union by the end of 2022.

This was stated by the speaker of the Ukrainian parliament Ruslan Stefanchuk on the air of the national telethon on Friday.

"We expect to open negotiations on EU membership. This means opening negotiations on each of the 35 chapters of... EU legislation - energy, public health, agriculture, social policy, finance, ecology... Accordingly, each of the 35 negotiating chapters should be fulfilled and closed by Ukraine... We have worked out a list of priority bills in the field of European integration and intend to adopt most of them by the end of this year already", - Stefanchuk said.

He noted that for Ukraine it is important not only to pass the bills quickly but also their quality.
