“I thank Singapore for its steadfast position on respecting international law and the sanctions imposed on the aggressor. I am confident that our dialogue will continue. Ukraine is open to sharing its experiences in areas of shared interest to both countries,” Deputy Minister Oleksandr Balanutsa stated.
