Ukraine is a priority partner for the European Union
Ukraine is a priority partner for the European Union. Signing the Association Agreement, including the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area, in 2014 opened a new chapter in EU-Ukraine relations.
Implementation of the Agreement means closer political and security cooperation and the gradual economic integration of Ukraine into the EU's single market. The Agreement also provides a roadmap for reforms in Ukraine, including the introduction of European standards and best practices.

The European Union attaches great importance to cooperation and coordination of border services, exchange of information and joint risk analysis, both between EU Member States and with third countries, especially our immediate neighbours. Together, we are moving towards a time when borders will be seen not as dividing but as uniting and securing tools.
Integrated Border Management in Ukraine is the coordinated activity of the competent state authorities of Ukraine and military formations aimed at establishing and maintaining a balance between ensuring an adequate level of border security and maintaining the openness of the state border for legitimate cross-border cooperation and for travellers.
Від ефективності управління державним кордоном залежить безпека держави, розвиток її економіки та людський потенціал. Розроблення ефективної системи управління державним кордоном сприятиме транскордонному співробітництву, збільшенню доходів державного та місцевих бюджетів, туризму та спрощенню інших форм законного руху осіб, послуг і товарів. Водночас державні кордони повинні бути закриті для всіх видів незаконної діяльності, що загрожують стабільності держави.
