Sybiha urges Munich 2025 not to repeat past mistakes
As reported by Ukrinform, Sybiha shared his message on social media platform X.
The Foreign Minister recalled that three years ago, he was also in Munich with President Volodymyr Zelensky. At that time, he said, the atmosphere was grim, and no one believed in Ukraine, neither before the full-scale invasion nor at its onset.
"But we believed in ourselves. And we survived despite all odds. The bottom line: never underestimate Ukraine," Sybiha emphasized.
He added that three years ago, Ukraine had proposed bold steps in Munich to prevent Russia's full-scale war. “But our calls fell mostly on deaf ears,” Ukraine’s minister noted.
"The lesson now is clear: listen to Ukraine and don’t repeat past mistakes. Believe in Ukraine and don’t be afraid of taking bold steps to deter Russia," Sybiha urged.
As previously reported by Ukrinform, the 61st Munich Security Conference is to start in Germany on February 14, bringing together 60 heads of state and government. This year's main focus will be Russia’s war against Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky will lead the Ukrainian delegation and is set to meet with key representatives of Donald Trump’s new administration for the first time.
