Sybiha said this in a post on the social media platform X, according to Ukrinform.
He noted that the conversation, focused on the path to peace and security guarantees for Ukraine, was organized by Marco Rubio in cooperation with Finland’s Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen, France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, Germany’s Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, Poland’s Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas.
Sybiha noted that the conversation was based on leaders’ earlier contacts, President Zelensky's successful visit to Washington, and the ongoing work of national security advisors.
“I reiterated Ukraine’s position that security guarantees must be concrete, legally binding, and effective. They should be multidimensional, including military, diplomatic, legal, and other levels,” the Ukrainian minister said.
Sybiha noted that the participants in the conversation “share the conviction that the Ukrainian army is the fundamental level of any such guarantees, therefore its maximum strengthening is our top priority”.
