A pause in the peace talks
Sybiha noted that the peace process involving U.S. partners is currently on hold.
He added that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has spoken about this on numerous occasions.
"We are awaiting the arrival of the U.S. negotiating team. We welcome the efforts of the U.S. side and would like to see greater momentum and engagement from the United States," said the acting foreign minister.
U.S. Participation in the Negotiations
According to Sybiha, it is impossible to achieve a just peace without the participation of the United States.
In addition, he noted that it is difficult to imagine effective security guarantees without the United States.
"All of this was the subject of Zelenskyy's talks with Trump during his recent trip to Washington. Ukraine is committed to ending this war. We are seizing every opportunity to bring about a just peace for Ukraine," Sybiha emphasized.
