“I had a constructive conversation with our partners, including Johann Wadephul from Germany, Yvette Cooper from the UK, Jean-Noël Barrot from France, Elina Valtonen from Finland, Antonio Tajani from Italy, and Radosław Sikorski from Poland. I informed them about the latest developments in our peace efforts, the results of yesterday's productive talks in Geneva, and the crucial role of Europe in this process. We exchanged perspectives and coordinated our positions for the next steps,” stated Sybiha.
He expressed gratitude to allies for their unwavering support, assuring that Ukraine appreciates the peace efforts of the United States and President Donald Trump, remaining committed to working constructively towards ending the conflict.
“I emphasized the critical importance of maintaining transatlantic unity to ensure a lasting and just peace for Ukraine and all of Europe.
