Andrey Sibiga held a meeting with Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odomegwa-Ojuwu.
"Amit updated the situation on the front and the consequences of ongoing Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities, energy infrastructure and civilians.
They discussed the urgent need to stop Russia's recruitment of Nigerian citizens to participate in the war as mercenaries. Moscow lures people with false promises and sends them to die in a war of aggression that is not theirs. This practice must be stopped, and Ukraine is ready to make joint efforts to achieve this goal.
Ukraine remains a responsible participant in ensuring global food security. Despite Russian attacks on our ports and agricultural lands, we are ready to deepen cooperation with Nigeria in this area.
We also agreed to strengthen the coordination on international platforms," Andrey Sibiga emphasized.
