Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "I am grateful to David Lammy for inviting me to participate online in today's London meeting, in our regular and effective format, together with our allies Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, the EU, and France. 

Key topics of our meeting today were peace efforts and our joint work with the United States. We coordinated strategies of our steps this week, which will be decisive for peace and accountability. 

I shared the most up-to-date information about the real frontline situation, which I received directly from Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi prior to the meeting. Russians are completely ignoring the offer of a full and durable ceasefire starting on May 12. They continue to attack Ukrainian positions all along the frontline. 

Moscow squanders another opportunity to put an end to the killings. This once again demonstrates that Russia's only goal is to prolong the war.  

To the contrary, Ukraine is making every effort to end the war and give diplomacy a chance. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy even proposed meeting with Putin in person on Thursday, but there has been no response as of yet. 

We discussed strong steps that can be taken, including sanctions against Russia's banking, central bank, and energy sectors, combined with new defense assistance packages for Ukraine. Putin must understand the consequences of rejecting peace efforts and continuing the war.  

We coordinated our next steps, contacts, and efforts for this week and further. I am grateful to the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, and the European Union for their unwavering support and tireless efforts to achieve a fair peace."
