Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha briefed NATO allies on the growing threat from Belarus. He wrote about this on X while summarising the results of his participation in the ministerial meeting of the North Atlantic Alliance.
“I informed allies about the rising threats from Belarus and urged appropriate action, deterrence, and steps to prevent Moscow and Minsk from expanding aggression”, the post said.
According to Sybiha, the war is now approaching a turning point.
“We are at a pivotal moment in the war, and the pressure mounts on Moscow. Ukraine holds the line, and Russia’s manpower is no longer a decisive advantage.
To achieve peace, we must focus on three critical elements: diplomacy, pressure, and strength. We need a new push in our peace efforts, while ramping up our special long-range sanctions and other leverage”, he wrote.
The Ukrainian minister stressed that his country is no longer acting as a petitioner. It is acting as a security partner and is ready to share its experience with allies.
“Increased defense spending is a guarantee of peace, and I encourage every NATO member to contribute to the defense of Ukraine. This investment will bring the greatest peace dividend of our lifetime”, he added.
