Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "I had a substantive exchange of views in Kyiv with my German friend and colleague Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul.

Germany continues to lead in defending security. freedom, and justice in Europe. This includes efforts to launch the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine. I welcome Germany’s decision to join the Enlarged Partial Agreement under the Council of Europe.

We also discussed preparations for the upcoming intergovernmental consultations in Berlin, focusing on concrete anticipated outcomes.

We coordinated further bilateral contacts, discussed joint defense projects, and agreed on the importance of increasing joint EU pressure on Russia, including stronger sanctions.

Together, we are defending our shared European values and principles".
