The Facts

  • Andrii Sybiha took part in an informal NATO-Ukraine Council meeting at foreign-minister level in Helsingborg with NATO allies.
  • At the meeting, Sybiha said the war had reached a pivotal moment.
  • Sybiha said Ukraine should be viewed not only as seeking assistance but also as a security contributor and partner for allies.
  • Sybiha told NATO counterparts that pressure on Moscow should continue and linked progress toward peace to diplomacy, pressure and military strength.
  • Sybiha raised concerns about increased threats from the direction of Belarus and called for deterrence measures to prevent wider aggression by Moscow and Minsk.
  • The discussions in Helsingborg also covered battlefield developments and peace efforts, including Europe’s role in diplomacy.
  • At the same gathering in Sweden, Marco Rubio said US-mediated talks between Ukraine and Russia were not currently taking place and could resume only if conditions became more productive.
  • Sybiha later said the current Ukraine-US-Russia negotiation format was running out of room for progress and suggested that involving Europe or holding talks at leaders’ level could provide a new impulse.
