Historic meeting of EU foreign minister in Kyiv
"This is the first time we have an EU27 meeting of foreign ministers in Kyiv, and it sends a strong message of how united we are in supporting Ukraine," Grlić Radman said.
"Today we will discuss how to strengthen our security obligations to Ukraine, in line with Ukraine's needs," he said.
"My country understands and supports these efforts. We know what Ukraine is going through because we had a similar experience of aggression in the 1990s, and that is why we are helping in many areas, from mine removal and reconstruction to the investigation of war crimes," the minister continued.
"Zagreb will soon host an international donor conference for demining Ukraine, and we hope to attract more global attention to this issue, which is a condition for the country's recovery and reconstruction," he said.
The donor conference is scheduled for 11 and 12 October.
