He served in various roles, including second secretary and first secretary at the Ukrainian Embassy in Poland, and held senior positions in the Treaty and Legal Department of the MFA. Sybiha also served as minister-counselor at the Ukrainian Embassy in Poland and headed the MFA's Consular Service Department. He was appointed Ukraine's ambassador to Turkey in 2016 and served in this role until May 19, 2021.
After being dismissed from his ambassadorial post, Sybiha became Deputy Head of the President's Office and later First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs in April 2024.
