“For the first time in the history of Ukraine’s independence, such a delegation from Africa came to us … There was a very frank conversation, sometimes a tough dialogue,” Kuleba said, adding that Kiev will continue to look at what will happen next and how the views of the delegates will evolve.
“We will not retreat a single millimeter from our interests and will speak frankly with everyone,” the minister stressed.
