High-level political meetings – Ukraine - EU Summits – are held once a year in turn in Ukraine and in the EU (Kyiv and Brussels) in accordance with Article 460 of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union and its Member-States.

According to the Association Agreement, the Summit shall provide overall supervision for the Agreement implementation as well as an opportunity to discuss wide range of bilateral and international issues of mutual interest.
