During his visit to the United Kingdom, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Rishi Sunak.

The Head of State expressed gratitude to the British people and personally to Rishi Sunak for providing comprehensive support to Ukraine in countering Russian aggression. He emphasized that the United Kingdom is our reliable partner and friend that has become one of the world leaders in helping the Ukrainian state.

"I thank you for your efforts to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities, for the humanitarian and financial assistance provided after the beginning of full-scale aggression, for supporting Ukrainians who were forced to flee their homes because of the Russian war," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

The President informed the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom about the situation on the frontline and the key needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in terms of weapons and military equipment. He emphasized the importance for Ukraine to receive the necessary weapons from allies to stop the Russian offensive and liberate all temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories. 

During the meeting, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Rishi Sunak discussed defense cooperation and the entire range of issues on the bilateral agenda: the implementation of the Peace Formula, Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration, future support from the United Kingdom, the possibility of involving the British side in the post-war reconstruction of our country, as well as a number of other promising projects.

The issue of preventing Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in the 2024 Olympics in Paris was discussed separately.
