New Delhi: Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has said that Kyiv wants peace and an end to the war with Russia this year. During an interactive session at the Raisina Dialogue held in Delhi, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister said that although his country desires a peaceful resolution to the conflict, it will not compromise on its territorial integrity.
Sybiha said that it will be in the global interest to achieve a long-lasting and just peace, saying that Ukraine is not opposed to the peace initiative as it has accepted the US proposal on a 30-day ceasefire with Russia. He also added that just and lasting peace is possible under US President Donald Trump's leadership.
"With the global support, especially from India, we could speak up and put up our side... We want just, long-lasting and comprehensive peace. This Russian aggression is not just limited to Ukraine but about the world order, international principle, and territorial integrity," Sybiha said at the conference on "Ukraine India: From Comprehensive to Strategic Partnership".
"The end of war will open up opportunities. There is a huge potential. Historically, India and Ukraine have got good ties. We want to develop bilateral relations, India's role is quite crucial. We really hope to boost the bilateral relations," Sybiha said, adding that with support from India, Ukraine will be able to achieve peace.
