OSCE Chairman-in-Office Ian Borg yesterday met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev. Malta, having assumed the Chairpersonship of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) for the first time, marked a historic moment.
Just last week, in his address as the chairman-in-office, Malta’s Foreign Minister Ian Borg declared that Ukraine would be a top priority for the organisation in the coming year. He emphasised a firm commitment to addressing Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine, condemning recent intensified attacks and calling for Russia’s immediate withdrawal from Ukrainian territory within internationally recognised borders.
During discussions with President Zelensky, Borg focused on enhancing support for Ukraine, particularly in efforts to locate and return illegally detained civilians and displaced children. President Zelensky expressed gratitude to Malta for actively supporting the Peace Formula and for securing €50 billion in financial support for the Ukraine Facility.
As Malta assumes the Presidency of the OSCE, an organisation with 57 member states dedicated to promoting security and cooperation among its members, the commitment to addressing the Ukraine conflict remains a key agenda item.
