Three years of full-scale war with Russia

Three years of full-scale war with Russia: How can France strengthen its support for Ukraine in the field of security and European integration?

2025 marks the third year of Russian full-scale war in Ukraine and of Ukraine becoming an EU candidate country. Despite heavy human toll and damage to its physical infrastructure and the economy, Ukraine continues its reform path towards European Union integration showing unmatched political will and societal resilience with awaited opening of chapter negotiations in May 2025. While the current political leadership of the United States adds instability to the future of security guarantees for Ukraine and European defence architecture, current international partners’ support for Ukraine and civil society initiatives make an essential contribution to Ukraine's comprehensive reforms on the way to EU membership and reconstruction. In this context, the Professional Government Association (PGA) of Ukraine and the French think tank Euro Creative find it crucial to continue mobilising public support for Ukraine in France and improve the quality of discussion on progress and prospects of stepping up the French support to Ukraine’s defence capabilities and European integration efforts. For France, supporting Ukraine represents both a duty and an opportunity to advance its strategic leadership for a more secure, stronger and prosperous Europe. For Ukraine, having predictability and clarity on the type and scope of French commitment is critical for its efforts in defending its statehood and protecting European democracies against Russia, as well as for progress on reforms for EU membership.
