President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a telephone conversation with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Keir Starmer for his words of condolence regarding Russian strikes on civilians and energy facilities. The President emphasized: it is crucial that the UK is providing support not only with words but also through concrete energy aid packages.
“We value the decisions already made and hope that our discussions on strengthening air defense will also yield results,” the Head of State noted.
The leaders also discussed diplomatic efforts. Volodymyr Zelenskyy highlighted that the meetings in the United Arab Emirates were constructive and that the dialogue will continue later this week. According to the President, Ukraine wants to end this war as quickly as possible and is ready to work 24/7 to achieve a dignified peace, and Russia must show the same readiness on its part.
“Not attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure or attempts to cut people off from power and heat, but real steps toward stopping the bloodshed,” the Head of State stressed.
The leaders share a common position: it is crucial to increase pressure on Russia and to coordinate all international efforts to end the war, with China potentially playing a significant role in this process.
