At a meeting with the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas in Vienna, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha emphasized the importance of Europe's role in the peace process.

He stated this on the social network X, according to Ukrinform.

"Upon my arrival in Vienna for the OSCE Ministerial, I had a warm meeting with Kaja Kallas. Europe's role in our peace process is crucial — it is a matter of peace and security for the entire continent," Sybiha said.

He mentioned that he discussed ways to further increase pressure on Russia and strengthen Ukraine with Kallas.

"In this regard, the Reparations Loan — with the full use of frozen Russian assets — as well as Ukraine's inclusion in purchases under the SAFE mechanism, are both essential," he stressed. Sybiha also thanked the EU for its important decision on the gradual abandonment of Russian fossil fuels.

As Ukrinform reported, the annual meeting of the OSCE Ministerial Council begins on Thursday morning in the Austrian capital. Representatives of 57 OSCE participating states and 11 partner countries will take part in the two-day event.
