## Resource

Four nations—Albania, Montenegro, Moldova, and Ukraine—are racing toward EU membership, marking the bloc’s biggest enlargement in over 20 years. Ukraine, which applied just days after Russia’s 2022 invasion, is making historic strides, with EU leaders viewing membership as a vital security lifeline amid ongoing war and Russian aggression. Moldova, Albania, and Montenegro are also advancing key negotiation chapters on rule of law, trade, and governance. A major shift in Hungary’s leadership has cleared the path for faster progress, though full accession remains a multi-year journey. The EU’s renewed momentum reflects a strategic pivot to counter Russian and Chinese influence—and to secure its future.
