Estonia is urging the European Union to accelerate Ukraine's path toward full membership, with Foreign Minister [Margus Tsahkna](/politicians/margus-tsahkna) calling for all six accession negotiation chapters to be opened before the EU summit scheduled for June.

Tsahkna stated that Estonia wants the EU to concentrate its efforts on a process that would bring Ukraine to full membership status, emphasising the importance of making concrete progress on the accession talks in the coming weeks.

Opening all six negotiation chapters ahead of the June European Council would mark a significant step forward in Ukraine's EU integration journey, which formally began following the country's candidate status being granted in 2022. Estonia has consistently been among the most vocal supporters of Ukraine's European aspirations within the bloc.
