  "summary": "Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Andriy Koretskyi has outlined the country's next goal in the EU enlargement process, commenting on the latest EU enlargement report. According to Ukrinform, the European Commission has confirmed that Ukraine has fulfilled the conditions for opening all the remaining clusters, with the next goal being to receive an Interim Benchmark Assessment Report (IBAR) in early 2027. To achieve this, a joint Ukraine-EU working group has been established, with President Volodymyr Zelensky and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at the initiative. Koretskyi highlighted that Ukraine's government has acknowledged all the European Commission's recommendations in its annual Ukraine Report and will work to implement them. The report noted significant progress in nine chapters, including energy, the digital sector, financial services, taxation, education, science, agriculture, and customs, with foreign policy, security, and defense receiving the highest progress rating. Ukraine's anti-corruption institutions and judiciary also showed improvement, which is crucial for moving to the next stage of negotiations.",
