Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov had however warned ahead of that meeting not to expect any breakthroughs, though the process of normalising relations was ongoing. On Friday, European nations agreed to US$24 billion in military aid for Kyiv.
On Saturday in Turkey, Sybiha said the Ukraine war signalled how the international institutional system under the UN had become “dysfunctional”. “We need additional tools of enforcement. We need reforms,” he argued, adding that amendments were needed to implement humanitarian laws.
“It is important that international laws should be laws, not simply declarations,” he said, adding that if the conflict did not end in a “fair way”, then “the price for everybody will be high”.
Sybiha was among speakers at multiple panels at the three-day Antalya Diplomacy Forum, where leaders and diplomats, especially from the Global South, urged more inclusion for their region in international decision-making. They warned that deepening geopolitical fractures and economic rivalries were weakening international cooperation.
