The newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andriy Sybiga, held a number of important telephone conversations with key international partners, including US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock, and Romanian Foreign Minister Luminica Odobescu. This is reported by “European Truth”.
Sybiga emphasized that he and Blinken discussed ways to speed up the provision of military aid to Ukraine, and also discussed the Ukrainian “peace formula” and the issue of increasing sanctions pressure on Russia.
“I look forward to our close cooperation to protect the democratic values we share”, – wrote Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The US State Department confirmed that Blinken congratulated Sybig on his appointment and emphasized the strength of the partnership between the US and Ukraine. Further diplomatic steps and a joint calendar were also discussed in the conversation.
