Foreign Minister explains why Ukraine is participating in the negotiations despite the lack of compromise

Ukraine wants to end the war, so it is participating in the negotiation process, despite the lack of compromise on the part of the parties. This was announced on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference by Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha, answering the correspondent's question LIGA.net.

"We need to end the war. Ukraine wants to end the war. We must work together, and we are now in the moment, to bring a just and sustainable peace to Ukraine," the head of Ukrainian diplomacy said.

Sybiha added that there is a diplomatic way to resolve conflicts, so it is important that it is used as much as possible.

That is why negotiating teams have been created that have the appropriate mandate, that have the appropriate directives, and that clearly understand what tasks they face and what the national interest is, he said.
