President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone call with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to coordinate joint diplomatic efforts in the near term.
Keir Starmer expressed condolences regarding the recent massive Russian attacks. Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked him for supporting Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. The leaders discussed the needs and the possibility of providing additional funding this month for Ukrainian drone production, primarily interceptor drones.
The President and the Prime Minister exchanged views on expectations for the upcoming meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, which will take place in Rome in just a few days. Work is ongoing to ensure the strongest possible decisions are made – focusing on strengthening air defense, economic pressure on Russia, sanctions, and security in the Black Sea.
Special attention was given to all other formats of cooperation with key partners, particularly the Ramstein format. Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Keir Starmer discussed prospects for enhancing its effectiveness and agreed to work toward this goal.
