Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha met with US Secretary of State Mark Rubio on the sidelines of the G7 ministerial meeting near Paris, UNN reports.
I was pleased to speak with US Secretary of State Mark Rubio on the sidelines of the G7 ministerial meeting in France. The US role in advancing peace efforts remains critically important. Ukraine's proposals are realistic and achievable. Pressure on Russia is key to forcing Moscow to end the war.
According to the minister, the parties also discussed events in the Middle East.
Ukraine's position is that the regimes in Moscow and Tehran are cooperating to prolong the war. And both must face consolidated pressure.
He stressed that "Ukraine's practical assistance to the Gulf states in protecting against Iranian terror has demonstrated our role as a security partner and contributor."
"The issue of countering Russian aggression against Ukraine must remain among the priorities of the international agenda," Sybiha noted.
