Stefanchuk shared insights from his recent trip to Vienna, where he met with PACE President Petra Bayr. During this meeting, they discussed the current security landscape in Ukraine and emphasized the need for enhanced sanctions against Russia. He also highlighted the importance of establishing a Special Tribunal to hold Russia accountable for its actions.
“Such meetings are crucial for aligning positions on key decisions, from peace to reconstruction. Together, we are stronger, and our alliances in the region must continue to strengthen,” Stefanchuk remarked.
