Valletta: Ukraine's foreign minister has called on the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to assist in executing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's 10-point peace plan. The appeal was made during the OSCE's 31st Ministerial Council meeting in Valletta, where Andrii Sybiha emphasized the need for a comprehensive and enduring peace to counter the Russian threat. According to Anadolu Agency, Sybiha highlighted the significance of the Peace Formula, which was initially introduced by Zelenskyy at the 2022 G20 summit in Indonesia. The plan concludes with the signing of a peace accord and addresses critical issues such as nuclear safety, as well as food and energy security. Sybiha stressed Ukraine's desire for a 'just peace' and adherence to 'principles for all,' particularly as the Russia-Ukraine conflict reached its 1,000th-day milestone last month. He argued that the future of Ukraine is being defined by these principles and called for the elimination of 'grey zones' that Russia has turned into 'zones of influence.' Expressing the need for Ukraine to be an integral part of the Euro-Atlantic community, Sybiha labeled Russia's involvement in the OSCE as a 'threat to cooperation in Europe.' He also referenced the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which marked its 30th anniversary on Thursday. This agreement had provided Ukraine with security assurances in exchange for relinquishing its Soviet-era nuclear arsenal, a pact Sybiha described as 'failed.' Sybiha accused Russia of escalating the war in Ukraine and asserted that this requires decisive action. He urged for raising the costs of war for Russia and compelling Moscow to accept a just peace. "We must demonstrate strength and unity in the face of blackmail," he insisted, urging for the defense of principles rather than merely declaring them.
