  "summary": "President Volodymyr Zelensky has appointed Taras Kachka, Ukraine’s former deputy prime minister for European and Euro-Atlantic integration, as the country’s representative to the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community. Kachka, who briefly served as deputy prime minister from July 2025 to July 2026, was announced as the new EU ambassador during a government reshuffle. His appointment comes amid parliamentary delays in passing EU-backed legislation, which have put EU loan installments at risk. Kachka has emphasized the importance of rule of law and anti-corruption reforms in maintaining trust with European partners, despite the ongoing war.",
