9 points out of 100 — this is how independent experts assessed Ukraine’s implementation of priority reforms envisaged under its EU integration commitments. The monitoring was conducted by a coalition of eight expert organizations that systematically work on EU integration, anti-corruption, and judicial reform, under the leadership of the New Europe Center.

The experts based their study on 10 key reform priorities identified in the Joint Statement by EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos and Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine Taras Kachka of 11 December 2025.

According to the study, Ukraine has so far achieved at least 20% implementation on only 2 out of the 10 points of the plan. These are point 6, to appoint without delay judges of the Constitutional Court and members of the High Council of Justice who have passed international vetting, and point 8, to adopt the draft law on declarations of integrity of judges.

At the same time, as many as four points of the plan are lagging far behind. Under point 3, the review of the procedure for selecting and dismissing prosecutors, Ukraine has 0 points and is marked as having “no implementation progress”. Under point 4, the requirement to resume the selection of prosecutors for appointment and transfer to important positions, Ukraine has 0.5 points out of 10. Two more points with extremely low scores of 5% each are point 2, the forensic examination tool for NABU, and point 10, the development of internal anti-corruption control systems.

On 27 February, the Committee on Ukraine’s Integration into the EU, at the initiative of Committee Chair Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze, held a special meeting to monitor the implementation of the so-called “Kachka-Kos” plan.

“Back then, in response to our urging on these priorities, Mr Kachka said that the priorities were not important, because this was about the ‘total implementation’ of commitments... Three months of 2026 have passed, and four months have passed since Kachka’s meeting with Kos in Lviv, and instead of total implementation, we are seeing total sabotage,” Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze said.
The Chair of the Committee believes that implementing the commitments outlined in the plan is critically important for Ukraine, because the trust of European partners is at stake. “We cannot afford to lose it, not only from the point of view of EU integration, but also from the point of view of basic survival. I hope that the pressure from our Committee and civil society monitoring will somehow influence the thinking and actions of the Government. It will no longer be possible to slip through the raindrops, because our partners have long exhausted the reserves of advance trust that the authorities presented as their own major achievements. The time has come for work and responsibility,” Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze said.
