RT @andrii_sybiha: During today’s meeting with President @ZelenskyyUa, we aligned key foreign policy priorities for the coming weeks and months. I thank the President for his vision and leadership.

Ukraine remains fully committed to advancing our EU accession process. We have been delivering on the necessary steps and reforms, and now expect clear decisions and a concrete timeline for opening negotiation clusters. A strong and strategically minded Europe must move forward with those who defend its values every day.

We also continue active efforts to strengthen good-neighborly relations and regional cooperation, including with Hungary and Georgia, based on mutual respect, pragmatism, and shared interests.

Separate attention was devoted to diplomatic efforts aimed at ending Russia’s war and ensuring Europe’s strong role in future security arrangements and peace efforts. Europe must not be an observer when its own security is at stake.

I also briefed the President on our latest progress with launching the Special Tribunal and steps taken within the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children.

Ukraine continues to work every day to strengthen European unity, security, and resilience. Our continent’s future will depend on the decisions and determination demonstrated now.

Together with Andrii Sybiha, we updated our European foreign policy tasks for May and June. At the team level, we are maintaining an active dialogue with Hungary’s new authorities, and there are prospects for a constructive reset of relations. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and other government officials are preparing for a format of bilateral consultations with Hungary – I am counting on results.

We also discussed with the Minister our work with European institutions to open clusters in the negotiation process on Ukraine’s accession to the European Union – Ukraine has taken the necessary steps, and it is important to have a clear timeline for the processes.

Andrii Sybiha also reported on communication with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia. We seek the normalization of relations and cooperation on the basis of mutual respect and mutual strengthening, and we are ready to take steps toward this.

Separate tasks have been defined regarding negotiations to end Russia’s war and Europe’s possible representation in this process – for now, these tasks are not public. We expect Europe to be strong, and for our part, we are doing everything to ensure that pan-European positions and interests are taken into account, just as Ukraine’s are. Glory to Ukraine! - Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
