President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a phone conversation with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer.
The Head of State expressed gratitude to the United Kingdom for the new sanctions that target entities in Russia’s military, energy, and financial sectors and contribute to forcing the Russian Federation toward peace. Additionally, the European Union today approved its 17th sanctions package against Russia.
The President noted that European partners are already preparing the next steps in exerting pressure on Russia to end the war, adding that it would be good if the United States also helped.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Keir Starmer discussed the key elements of their joint diplomatic efforts and potential meetings that can really ensure a ceasefire and progress toward lasting peace.
They also talked about yesterday’s conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump and joint actions within the Coalition of the Willing.
The leaders agreed to continue staying in close contact.
