EU should strengthen its role in solving major international problems, including Ukraine

One of the topics of the EU Council debates on the level of foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday is the need to address a number of major international issues by the EU, Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders said.

This applies to Libya and to Ukraine, it refers to our relations with Egypt, and I also think to the Middle East peace process, the head of the Foreign Ministry of Belgium told reporters on arrival at the EU Council meeting.

In his opinion, it is necessary to make an effort to prove that the European Union provides a real European diplomacy, not just contacts between the states of the Union and various partners.

Answering about Ukraine, Reynders stressed the need for a ceasefire in the east of the country and the implementation of the Minsk agreements by both parties. He also insisted on the importance of implementing reforms in Ukraine.
