Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Today, I was pleased to welcome the BBC team led by its Director-General Tim Davie to MFA of Ukraine.

I thanked the BBC, its reporters, editors, and, in particular, its Ukrainian team, for their fact-based coverage of Russian aggression against Ukraine, which may involve a lot of risk.

I shared our thoughts on the current challenges of Russian disinformation and how they can be addressed. Ukraine is at the heart of a global struggle for truth and justice. Independent journalism plays a crucial role.

We also talked about broader efforts to give international audiences a better understanding of Ukraine's history, identity, and culture.

I am grateful to the BBC for keeping Ukraine in the spotlight and providing their audience with high-quality journalism".
