Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "In Antalya, I was pleased to meet with World Bank Group President Ajay Banga.

I briefed Mr. President on the situation in Ukraine, the peace process, and the horrific consequences of Russian strikes on civilians, cities, and critical infrastructure.

I particularly underscored the challenges to global food security posed by Russia’s blockade of Ukraine’s maritime routes in the Black Sea.

I am grateful to the World Bank Group for its consistent support for Ukraine. We count on further developing our cooperation".
