 Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sybiha had a call with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kuwait Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Sabah, during which they discussed, in particular, the expansion of cooperation in the defense sector, including in the field of air defense.

"I had a very meaningful conversation with H.E. Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Sabah, Foreign Minister of Kuwait.

In this regard, I underscored Ukraine's solidarity with Kuwait and other partners in the region, as well as our shared commitment to international law," he said on the X social network.

Sybiha said Kuwait supports Ukraine and our sovereignty and territorial integrity.
