Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has described provision of international support to Ukraine and preservation of international sanctions against Russia as primary objectives of Kyiv's foreign policy.

"It depends on every one of us how much we will be able to ensure full solidarity of the EU, G7 and the entire civilized world with Ukraine's struggle in the future," the minister told Ukrainian ambassadors at a conference on Monday.

"How much we will be able to maintain this support and to ensure continuation of those sanctions as an element of pressure on Russia, which I deem to be our primary task," Klimkin said.
