President Christodoulides emphasized that supporting Ukraine's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity is a central priority of the Cypriot Presidency, within the broader effort for peace and security in Europe. He expressed his expectation for close cooperation with European institutions to promote important priorities, such as support for Ukraine, enhancing competitiveness, and simplifying procedures.
