Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha met with Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Stenergard to discuss crucial matters amid ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine. The two focused on immobilised Russian assets, which Sybiha highlighted as essential for doubling EU support for Ukraine without incurring any costs to EU taxpayers.

Sybiha expressed gratitude to Sweden for its unyielding support, particularly for Sweden's decision to provide Gripen aircraft, which will bolster Ukraine's aerial defense.
