Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "In Damascus, together with my colleagues Hassan al-Shaibani and Hakan Fidan we held a meeting in a new trilateral format Ukraine-Syria-Türkiye.
We agreed that today’s historic visit of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Syria and talks with the Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa are a milestone for all of our countries.
We had a substantive exchange on security, which remains a central issue on agenda for both Europe and the Middle East. Security is indivisible, and stability in one region directly affects the other. Strengthening coordination and joint efforts is essential.
We also focused on logistics and the security of trade and maritime routes—critical for global supply chains and food security. We agreed that ensuring their resilience is a shared priority.
Our talks also covered broader regional and international developments, as well as opportunities for joint initiatives across security, economic, and humanitarian tracks.
I informed my colleagues about the status of peace efforts and the battlefield situation.
Ukraine remains committed to building partnerships that reinforce stability, expand cooperation, and contribute to a lasting peace and global security."
