“France’s leadership at this crucial moment truly matters,” Sybiha said, adding that he had briefed Barrot on the frontline situation in Ukraine, along with peace efforts and wider international developments.
The two diplomats covered the full spectrum of priorities, from energy resilience and defense support to sanctions against Russia, Sybiha said.
“We especially value the efforts that helped mobilise support for Ukraine’s energy security this winter and count on continued coordination to strengthen our air defense,” he added.
Barrot has not yet commented on the meeting.
On Monday, Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry announced that Sybiha would make a two-day trip to Paris. He is set to join a G7 ministerial session centered on backing Ukraine and to hold a series of bilateral meetings, among them one with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The ministry said Ukraine’s chief diplomat would update allies on battlefield conditions, the toll of Russian strikes and Kyiv’s top defense needs, as well as preparations for the coming winter.
“The minister will also coordinate positions with G7 nations regarding peace efforts,” it said, adding that the meeting would focus on “steps toward de-escalation and achieving peace, strengthening the protection of Ukrainian skies, exerting pressure on the aggressor, ensuring global food security, and upholding freedom of navigation in the Black Sea.”
