Ukraine’s parliament has ratified an agreement between Ukraine, the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) on the country’s participation in the Horizon Europe funding programme for research and innovation and the Euratom Research and Training Programme (2021-2025).

The Ukrainian News Agency said 327 parliamentarians voted to ratify the agreement, with a minimum required of 226.
