Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte held a meeting with NATO allies at the Saint Sophia Cathedral National Reserve.

The meeting took place following a session of the NATO-Ukraine Council chaired by President Volodymyr Zelensky and Rutte, Ukrinform reports, citing the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.

Sybiha stressed that despite attempts at intimidation by the aggressor state, the parties held productive talks.

"Putin tried to intimidate foreign diplomats and force them to leave Kyiv, but he failed. Instead, we gathered the full North Atlantic Council of NATO in Ukraine's capital – 32 senior diplomats led by the Secretary General. It was a busy but truly productive day," he said.

Sybiha outlined the key issues discussed with partners.
