Sybiha on Trump’s statements: Ukraine is interested in active dialogue at level of leaders
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha commented on US President-elect Donald Trump's statement that the American leader understands the Russian Federation's reluctance to have Ukraine join NATO.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to UNIAN.
"I know for sure that the common interest of the transatlantic community is to achieve a sustainable, just, comprehensive peace. I can tell you for sure that Russia wants war and the destruction of Ukraine. I can tell you for sure that Russia has not changed its rhetoric - the rhetoric of surrender and ultimatums," the minister emphasized.
At the same time, he believes that the best format for exchanging views between the presidents of Ukraine and the United States is direct communication.
"Therefore, we are extremely interested in an active dialogue, including at the level of leaders, and this format allows us to exchange views very effectively on both the causes and consequences," Sybiha said.
As a reminder, on January 7, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said he "can understand the feelings" of the Russian Federation over Ukraine's aspirations to join NATO and warned that the war could escalate.
