Sybiha requests UN meeting over Black Sea after call with Macinka
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha announced a new diplomatic step by Kyiv after a phone call with his Czech counterpart Petr Macinka. Ukraine has requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council for Monday, July 27, over Russian attacks on civilian ships in the Black Sea. novinky.cz ↗
On Tuesday, July 21, Sybiha reported on the phone call with Macinka, during which he thanked the Czech Republic for its support of Ukraine, which has been defending itself against the Russian invasion for a fifth year now. According to available information, the ministers discussed Czech assistance to Ukraine. Kyiv's new request to the UN follows claims by Ukrainian diplomacy that the Russian military has struck at least three civilian cargo ships in the Black Sea in recent days. forum24.cz ↗
The phone call came in the same week that Czech diplomacy was also dealing with the arrival of the new Russian ambassador to Prague, Anna Ponomaryova. Macinka received her on Wednesday, July 22, during an inaugural meeting and conveyed the Czech position on the war in Ukraine. According to his own statement, he told her that the war against Ukraine must be ended, and he condemned the bombing of civilian targets. respekt.cz ↗
The meeting drew attention partly because Czech politicians have almost never met with Russian representatives since the start of the Russian invasion. Further developments are now also shifting to the UN, where Kyiv wants to raise the issue of the safety of civilian shipping in the Black Sea. forum24.cz ↗
