> Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said during a Kyiv visit that EU-required rule-of-law and anti-corruption reforms are primarily for Ukraine’s own benefit, protecting citizens, rebuilding trust and making the country more resilient rather than merely pleasing Brussels. His remarks came as Kyiv faced difficulty advancing the reforms.
