Ukraine’s new foreign minister holds first talks with US, German, and Romanian counterparts

Newly appointed Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha conducted a series of important phone conversations with key international partners on 7 September 2024.

In his first call with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Sybiha discussed ways to accelerate military aid to Ukraine, the implementation of Ukraine’s “peace formula,” and strengthening sanctions against Russia. The US State Department reported that Blinken congratulated Sybiha on his appointment and reaffirmed the strength of the US-Ukraine partnership. The two also reviewed the upcoming diplomatic calendar.

Great call with @SecBlinken to reaffirm the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership. We discussed ways to speed up military aid, advance the Peace Formula, and tighten sanctions against Russia. I look forward to working closely together to defend shared democratic values
