On July 20, Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Andrii Sybiha, visited the city of Zaporizhzhia alongside a delegation of foreign ambassadors. The diplomatic visit was aimed at demonstrating solidarity with residents living near the front line and assessing the current humanitarian and security conditions.

“We are here to express support to Zaporizhzhia and all cities that are resisting under daily threats,” said Sybiha during a press briefing. “Ukraine’s diplomatic corps stands united with our citizens living near the contact line.
