Sybiha in Brussels noted a "new sense of momentum" – new sanctions and Europe's role in peace efforts are on the agenda

The negotiations will focus on the situation in Ukraine, and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, arriving this morning for talks within the framework of the EU Foreign Ministers' meeting in Brussels, noted a "new sense of momentum," UNN reports.

"Well, I have come here with a new sense of momentum. I will be attending very important meetings at the level of foreign ministers, the EU Foreign Affairs Council, as well as a meeting of our international coalition for the return of Ukrainian children,"

Ukraine has stabilized the front and is also closing the sky

The Minister noted that "we have a new reality on the battlefield, so Ukraine has become stronger." "After the hardest winter, we managed to survive this winter, of course, with the help of our international partners. And on the battlefield, we have stabilized the front. We have stabilized the front, and we are also in a position where we have closed the sky. Speaking of drones, we can now shoot down up to 90% of the aerial objects with which the Russians attack us. In addition, we are implementing very effective special long-range sanctions, and they are working," the Foreign Minister said.

Discussion of new sanctions against the Russian Federation

"We have also noticed new, very interesting developments in Russia, not only in the economy, so we are monitoring them. And for us, this is also a signal to continue the pressure on Russia. That is why I am also here to discuss new sanctions packages with my colleagues," Sybiha said.

Peace efforts

According to him, "of course, we will discuss peace efforts." "We are trying to use every opportunity to bring peace closer, a just and comprehensive peace. And perhaps that is why I mentioned the momentum; we could talk about a new role for Europe," the Minister indicated.

"Yes, we have the main peace negotiations led by the US, and we need this track, and we need US leadership, but Europe can also play its role, a new role. I will discuss this direction with my colleagues. And we are talking not about alternative peace negotiations or a peace track or a diplomatic track, but about a complementary one," Sybiha emphasized.

According to him, "we are making every effort to bring peace closer." "This is, of course, our strategic goal," he stressed.
