President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs of the United Kingdom James Cleverly who was on a visit to our country.

"Your visit is taking place against the background of a large-scale Russian missile attack, which left all of Ukraine without electricity and water. But that didn't stop you. Thank you," the President emphasized.

The Head of State highly appreciated the unwavering support for Ukraine and all our people from Great Britain. He separately thanked the British government for defense aid to our country, which this year reached 2.3 billion pounds. During the meeting, the Secretary of State was also informed about the urgent defense needs of Ukraine.

"We know that you are our friends and partners, and you are with us at this crucial time. Ukrainians will never forget this," Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.

The President of Ukraine informed the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs of the United Kingdom about the consequences of Russian terrorist attacks on critical civil infrastructure facilities and emphasized the importance of assistance provided by  the British side for the reconstruction of key energy facilities that were destroyed as a result of shelling by the aggressor.

The Head of State drew James Cleverly's attention to the Grain from Ukraine initiative to provide food aid to the countries that suffer the most from famine. Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine is willing to continue making a significant contribution to guaranteeing global food security.

The President thanked for the support from official London for the resolution of the UN General Assembly regarding the compensation mechanism for damages caused to Ukraine by the aggression of the Russian Federation. He also expressed hope that the British side would support the initiative to create a special international tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of Great Britain's adoption of a decision to recognize the Holodomor as genocide of the Ukrainian people.

"It is important to do this right now, when Ukrainians are commemorating the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor," the Head of State said.
