President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Andy Burnham met with Ukrainian and British sailors at Portsmouth Naval Base, where five Ukrainian mine countermeasures vessels are also based: Melitopol, Mariupol, Henichesk, Cherkasy, and Chernihiv.

The leaders discussed the priorities for further partnership and support for Ukraine. Their primary focus was the development of joint defense production and the establishment of relevant enterprises in both Ukraine and the United Kingdom. The President and the Prime Minister agreed to work toward continuously increasing the pace of this cooperation.

On the eve of Medical Workers' Day, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with military and civilian medics, presented them with state awards, and conferred honorary titles.

It is crucial that, together with our partners, we exert enough pressure on Russia so that the idea of ending this aggression becomes the dominant one – the idea of peace, not of another Russian mobilization. Our long-range operations and our mid-range strikes are helping with this.

Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Ihor Zhovkva met with Philippine Undersecretary of National Defense Salvador Mison, who arrived in Ukraine at the head of an official delegation.

The strike may take place today – we have preliminary information that it could happen within the next 48 hours. Please take care of yourselves and pay attention to air raid alerts.

The meeting focused on prospects for cooperation in protecting the skies. Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed Raytheon's readiness to take the partnership to an even higher level by co-producing interceptors for Patriot systems. The Head of State noted that he had a substantive discussion on this with U.S. President Donald Trump in Ankara and that work in this direction should now move forward.
