"I greatly value Beate's personal commitment, which complements the intense dynamics of Ukrainian-Austrian relations. We are building on President Zelenskyy's visit to Vienna in mid-June," Sybiha said.

The Ukrainian foreign minister said he and Meinl-Reisinger had begun their meeting by honouring the memory of Ukraine's fallen defenders.

Background:

  • In June, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Austria for the first time since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
  • The far-right Freedom Party of Austria believed Zelenskyy's visit was a "threat to the country's neutrality" and requested a government report on preparations for the visit.
