Mineral Agreement with the US Cannot Contradict Ukraine's Integration into the EU – Sybiga

This position was confirmed by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock at a joint press conference in Kyiv, as reported by Ukrinform.

“It is extremely important to create a text that will satisfy the interests of both parties and will be acceptable to them. In this context, it is necessary to emphasize that the agreement under discussion should not contradict our integration into the EU, which remains one of our key principles,” Sibiga noted.
