Ukraine has proposed its own vision for a ceasefire in the Black Sea and energy sector, Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha said Tuesday, and has transmitted the proposals to international partners while awaiting Russia's response.
Sybiha made the comments during a televised address following a Group of Seven foreign ministers meeting in Paris. "Ukraine proposes its vision, its approaches regarding a ceasefire—both in the Black Sea and in the energy sector. We have transmitted them to our partners and now we are awaiting a response from the Russians," he said.
Ukraine's messages during trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi include de-escalation and the ceasefire proposals, security guarantees, and a meeting between President Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin, Sybiha said. He expressed his personal conviction that such a meeting could accelerate the war's end.
The first day of the Abu Dhabi talks ended Tuesday afternoon, and the talks resume Wednesday, November 11.
