Acting Foreign Minister of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Today I also spoke with my Canadian friend and colleague, Minister Anita Anand.

I briefed Anita on the latest massive Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and their consequences. We also discussed security in the Black Sea and the importance of safeguarding freedom of navigation, which is essential for global food security.

We coordinated further development of our mutually beneficial bilateral partnership and upcoming contacts between our leaders and us.

We also discussed preparations for the next meeting of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children and ways to advance this vital humanitarian effort.

Grateful to Canada for its principled leadership and unwavering support for Ukraine".
