The meeting, organized by Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, is taking place within the framework of the so-called "Weimar+" format. The group is a continuation of the "Weimar Triangle" format, which includes Germany, France and Poland.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha will participate in the conference. They will be joined by German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, representatives of Poland, Spain, Great Britain, France and the European Union, the German Foreign Ministry said.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine confirmed that on June 12, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha will visit Rome at the invitation of his Italian counterpart Antonio Tajani.

In the Italian capital, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, as reported, will participate in a ministerial meeting in the "Weimar+" format with the participation of colleagues from Italy, Germany, Great Britain, Spain, France, Poland, the head of EU diplomacy and the Secretary General of NATO.

"The key topic will be joint efforts to restore a just peace, sanctions pressure on the aggressor and strengthening Ukraine. The ministers will also discuss ways to strengthen European security and preparations for the EU, Group of Seven and NATO summits," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine said.

On the sidelines of the event, Sybiha, as indicated, will also hold a number of separate bilateral meetings.
