Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Discussed our shared priorities with Maria Malmer Stenergard amid Russia's ongoing attacks on Ukraine's critical infrastructure.

We paid particular attention to immobilised Russian assets. In my Politico Europe piece, I have just outlined why using them fully for Ukraine's benefit is urgent.

I am grateful to Maria for her leadership in advocating this crucial step. I fully share her argument: the assets could double EU support for Ukraine without costing EU taxpayers a cent.

I thanked Sweden for its steadfast support, including this year's landmark decision on Gripens. These state-of-the-art aircraft will soon help protect Ukraine's skies.

We focused on further military assistance, strengthening Ukraine's energy resilience ahead of winter, and advancing its path toward EU membership.

We also underscored the importance of extending sanctions against Russia and keeping up pressure on the aggressor".
