Acting Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha: "I had a constructive conversation with Tunisia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammed Ali Nafti. 

I briefed my colleague on the consequences of Russia’s latest missile and drone attack on Ukrainian cities, the situation on the battlefield, and our ongoing diplomatic efforts to advance a comprehensive and lasting peace. 

I also informed my counterpart about Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian ports and civilian shipping in the Black Sea, which threaten freedom of navigation and put global food security at risk.  

These attacks have consequences far beyond Ukraine, including for countries that rely on Ukrainian grain supplies. As Tunisia is an important destination for Ukrainian grain, we share an interest in keeping maritime routes open and secure. 

I thanked Tunisia for its support for the UN General Assembly resolution "Support for lasting peace in Ukraine". Ukraine values Tunisia’s voice and remains ready to develop practical, mutually beneficial cooperation. 

Next year, Ukraine and Tunisia will mark 35 years of diplomatic relations. We are committed to building on our longstanding friendly ties and opening new opportunities for cooperation between our countries."
