Press release by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Ukraine

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomes the political agreement achieved between the Government and opposition of Ukraine; an agreement which is vital for the gradual de-escalation of the crisis and the consequent normalisation of the situation in the interior.


The contribution of the EU, as well as of the international community, including the Russian Federation’s Special Envoy, enjoys the Cyprus Government’s full support.

The fact that the mission of Foreign Ministers of Germany, France and Poland, on behalf of EU’s High Representative Catherine Aston, played a catalytic role in this positive development, highlights once again EU’s status and contribution as a mediation factor on the international level.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs looks forward to the smooth and unhindered implementation of the achieved agreement through constructive dialogue, in a conciliatory spirit of democratic compromise.

The main objective remains to ensure a stable future for the country to the benefit of the friendly people of Ukraine.
