The delegation's arrival was announced by Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukraine's Presidential Office, who noted that he is accompanied by Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.

According to Anadolu Agency, as part of the visit, a series of bilateral and multilateral meetings are planned with representatives of countries from the coalition of the willing and able to guarantee security, including France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, as stated by Yermak on X. Meetings are also planned with US representatives currently in Paris.

Yermak emphasized the focus on critical issues for the security of Ukraine and all of Europe. A later statement by the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry mentioned that the meetings will be a continuation of consultations on achieving sustainable peace in Ukraine. The discussions will cover topics such as achieving a complete ceasefire, involving a multinational military contingent to ensure sustainable peace, developing Ukraine's security architecture, and guaranteeing the state's security.
