Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha held telephone talks with his counterparts from Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Finland, Italy, and Poland to coordinate positions following yesterday’s meeting between the Ukrainian and U.S. delegations in Geneva.

Sybiha reported this on X, according to Ukrinform.

“I had a meaningful call with our allies from Germany Johann Wadephul, the UK Yvette Cooper, France Jean-Noël Barrot, Finland Elina Valtonen, Italy Antonio Tajani, and Poland Radosław Sikorski. I updated our European partners on the latest developments in peace efforts, the outcomes of yesterday’s result-oriented and productive talks in Geneva, as well as Europe’s important role. We shared perspectives and coordinated positions ahead of the next steps,” Sybiha wrote.

He thanked the allies for reaffirming their unwavering support and assured that Ukraine values the U.S. peace efforts and President Donald Trump’s engagement, remaining committed to constructive and active work to end the war.

“I stressed the critical importance of maintaining transatlantic unity to secure a lasting and just peace for Ukraine and the entire Europe. We also agreed on the need to maintain pressure on Russia, including through new sanctions and the decision to enable the full of use of immobilised Russian assets, which is needed until the end of the year,” the Ukrainian foreign minister added.

According to Sybiha, the participants of the telephone talks share the view that the main goal of the peace process is a just and lasting peace that respects Ukraine’s sovereignty and security.

“We agreed to stay in close coordination to achieve this goal. I also encouraged our partners to consider high-level visits to Ukraine to demonstrate their solidarity and support for our people,” the minister said.

As previously reported by Ukrinform, following the Geneva talks, Ukraine and the United States agreed to continue working on joint proposals for a peace agreement. Both sides described the consultations as highly productive and confirmed that any future agreement must fully respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and ensure a sustainable and just peace.

Following the talks, the parties prepared an updated and refined framework document on peace.
