Ukraine's new EU envoy signals reform push as accession talks stall

Ukraine's incoming EU ambassador, Taras Kachka, emphasized rule-of-law and anti-corruption reforms as the basis for trust, amid reported stumbles in Kyiv's EU accession reforms. The statement is a diplomatic reassurance effort, but the actual pace of reforms remains uncertain. This matters because EU accession progress is a key pillar of Ukraine's Western integration and its resilience against Russian pressure.
