Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Starting our work at the G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting under the French Presidency with my friend and colleague Jean-Noël Barrot.

Jean-Noël, thank you for the warm welcome and for placing Ukraine at the centre of the agenda, including through the dedicated “G7+Ukraine” session.

France’s leadership at this crucial moment truly matters.

I informed my colleague about the battlefield situation, peace efforts, and international developments. We covered the full range of priorities, from energy resilience to defence support and sanctions against Russia.

We especially value the efforts that helped mobilise support for Ukraine’s energy security this winter and count on continued coordination to strengthen our air defense".
