On the sidelines of a meeting of foreign ministers from G-7 countries, Kuleba told reporters that they were ready to talk but aimed for meaningful dialogs based on mutual respect. He said that his conversation with the Group of Seven economies in Germany had been fruitful, helpful, result-oriented, and honest with each other. The foreign minister praised them for the weaponry and financial aid they provided to Ukraine.
