Ukraine became the third country that isn't a member of the European Union —after Norway and Liechtenstein — to join the European Blockchain Partnership (EBP) as an observer. Following this move, the country plans to expand its interstate blockchain network partnership with other countries.
Konstantin Yarmolenko, founder and CEO of Virtual Assets of Ukraine told Cointelegraph about Ukraine’s interest in running test-node of the EBSI and pilot use cases of the cross-border public services based on the blockchain technology.
He further highlighted that the crypto donations during the Russia-Ukraine war “proved as important support,” stating:
“Next step is full blockchain integration of Ukraine and EU based on EBP/EBSI initiatives.”
