Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Productive meeting with my German friend and colleague Johann Wadephul. 

We began with an exchange on developments in the Middle East, as well as advancing Ukrainian-German defense cooperation, including joint drone production. 

Ukraine is a security contributor and partner with unique battlefield experience and capacities that help to protect life in other regions, including in the Middle East. We count on long-term contracts to ensure sustainability and predictability of cooperation. 

We also focused on strengthening Ukraine’s air defense and enhancing our capabilities to protect civilians, critical infrastructure, and economic stability. 

I stressed the urgent need to unblock the €90 billion loan, sustain the support for Ukraine and pressure on Russia. 

I also underscored the importance of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression Against Ukraine as part of accountability efforts. 

I am grateful to Germany for all of its support and leadership, as well as its principled and consistent position: Ukraine remains a top priority.  

Together, we are making a tangible contribution to strengthening our resilience. We remain closely coordinated in advancing our shared goals."
