"We're waiting for a response from the Russians": Sibiga spoke about Ukraine's proposals for a ceasefire

Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga made this announcement.

Awaiting Russia’s Response

Diplomats have focused on coordinating practical security mechanisms with international allies.

Ukraine is proposing its own approaches to a ceasefire – both in the Black Sea and in the energy sector. We have conveyed them to our partners and are now awaiting a response from the Russians– Sibiga stated.

In addition, the foreign minister outlined Ukraine’s key messages for the talks in Abu Dhabi. These include de-escalation and the ceasefire proposed by Ukraine, as well as security guarantees.

Sibiga singled out the meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin, which, according to the minister, “could truly accelerate the end of the war.”

As a reminder, Ukraine’s foreign minister met with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot on the sidelines of the G7 summit. The parties coordinated steps to protect the power grid and strengthen air defense ahead of winter.
