EU-Ukraine summit: Between show of support and dimmed accession hopes

This week on the Beyond the Byline podcast we discuss top EU leaders travelling to Ukraine to hold talks with a candidate country,  for the first time ever in an active war zone. Almost a year after Ukraine’s invasion by Russia, EU's top leaders are set to meet their Ukrainian counterparts to discuss the country’s progress on its path in the EU, the bloc's long-term war support and closer integration in a series of policy areas. What will be the message sent by the EU's top officials and what signals can Kyiv expect on its accession hopes? With us this week are Ricardo Borges de Castro, Head of Europe in the World Programme at the European Policy Centre (EPC) think tank and Alexandra Brzozowski, EURACTIV’s Global Europe and Defence editor.
