As stated in the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, the interlocutors discussed "security in the region, building up the military presence of Russia."

The parties also agreed on further cooperation and coordination of actions to bring Ukraine and Georgia closer to joining the EU and NATO.

“The membership of Ukraine and Georgia in the European Union and NATO is only a matter of time,” Kuleba said.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called NATO membership the only way to end the armed conflict in Donbass.

The head of the alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, in turn, said that only 30 members of the organization and Kiev can decide on Ukraine's membership in NATO.

According to the Secretary of State at the French Foreign Ministry, Clement Bona, the prospect of Ukraine's accession to the EU is not serious.
