I met with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, @Keir_Starmer. In Ukraine, we appreciate all the steps the United Kingdom has taken to support our people and weaken the aggressor, including efforts to counter Russia’s shadow fleet. We discussed this with Keir today. We also paid significant attention to defense support for Ukraine, in particular contributions to the PURL initiative. Ukraine is ready for the next round of negotiations in a trilateral format. The negotiation process to achieve a just and dignified peace was also among the topics of our discussion. We appreciate the United Kingdom’s position on continuing pressure on Russia. This is truly important. We separately discussed support for Ukraine’s energy sector. I briefed the Prime Minuster on the situation on the battlefield and Russia’s strikes against Ukraine. It is important for Europe to coordinate its efforts and develop a joint air defense system to protect against threats from Russia.
