We are pleased to announce the launch of the new podcast EU Integration Dialogues: Ukraine Edition, produced by the ADVANCE-EUiUA project.

EU Integration Dialogues: Ukraine Edition is a podcast series dedicated to debates on EU enlargement, differentiated integration, and Ukraine’s path toward EU accession. It is a product of the ADVANCE EUiUA project, aimed at disseminating knowledge about lessons learned from past EU enlargements and addressing political dynamics within EU institutions, member and partner states, and their relationships with accession countries, focusing on Ukraine. Hosted by Inna Melnykovska (European University Institute, EUI) and Marta Beska (CEU Invisible University for Ukraine, IUFU).

In Episode 1, hosts Inna Melnykovska and Marta Beska, and their guests, Erik Jones (EUI) and Veronica Anghel (EUI) discuss the key outcomes of the Munich Security Conference 2026 and assess what they signal for Ukraine’s security, Europe’s strategic autonomy, and the future of transatlantic cooperation. 

From defence commitments and enlargement debates to shifting geopolitical dynamics, we explore how Munich’s messages translate into concrete policy choices and what do these developments mean for Ukraine’s European path and the resilience of the Euro-Atlantic alliance.
