January 2026 shows a noticeable slowdown in integration dynamics after an active December. The only indicator that increased was agenda setting, i.e. political and strategic signals for further integration. At the same time, the lack of legislative steps and weaker implementation significantly reduced the overall assessment of the process.

The score for actual legislative changes decreased from 1.84 in December to 0 in January. This means that in January, no new legislative changes were adopted that would have an impact on Ukraine's integration into the EU in the transport sector.

The assessment of planned legislative changes also decreased from 1.34 in December to 0 in January. There are no new legislative initiatives or projects that would shape the future direction of legislative approximation to EU norms.

The score for agenda setting increased from 0.34 in December to 0.92 in January. This means that strategic signals on integration are getting stronger: statements, strategies, concepts, or other documents that outline the direction of further changes, although they do not in themselves create institutional guarantees for their implementation.

The implementation status indicator decreased from 0.63 to 0.22. This indicates a slowdown in the practical implementation of previously adopted decisions and reforms in the transport sector.

The overall score decreased from 1.3 in December to 0.35 in January. This sharp decline is primarily due to the absence of new legislative changes and legislative initiatives in January, as well as a slowdown in implementation.
