Most difficult period of diplomatic track with USA is behind us; Ukraine truly has cards – Sybiha

Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha is convinced that the most difficult period of the diplomatic track with the USA is over, and the countries have managed to build a pragmatic dialogue.

"Our assessment, and I am confident of this, is that the most difficult period of our relations or our diplomatic bilateral track is behind us. We managed to settle this direction properly, very pragmatically, with respect for each other’s positions, and Ukraine truly has cards. This is a reality," Sybiha said during the ADF-Talks public discussion at the 5th Antalya Diplomacy Forum on Friday.

He again emphasized that Ukraine welcomes the efforts of the USA to bring about a just and comprehensive peace.

"My personal assessment is that without the USA, without the support of President Trump, it is unrealistic to achieve a just and comprehensive peace. It is unrealistic. Therefore, we need the participation of the USA, and we welcome their peace efforts," Sybiha noted.

As reported, on April 16-18, Sybiha is visiting the Republic of Türkiye, where he is participating in the 5th Antalya Diplomacy Forum at the invitation of his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan.
