As Moldova and Ukraine celebrate their invitations to start accession negotiations, the EU nevertheless faces several substantial challenges regarding political communication and knowledge production about their prospective new candidates. Firstly, the bloc must challenge Russian-centric knowledge about the post-Soviet area, which is deeply ingrained in western parts of Europe. Russia has long been a gatekeeper of knowledge about Ukraine and other countries in the region.
