The Head of State highly appreciated contribution of Great Britain to the training of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and expressed hope that cooperation in that sphere would be continued and enhanced.

The President informed the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs of Great Britain on the situation in Donbas.

Boris Johnson emphasized that Ukraine is among priorities of his activities and it is not a coincidence that Ukraine has become one of the first countries he has visited in his new position.

“Ukraine is a victim of unacceptable aggression. We are 100% determined in putting pressure on Russia,” Boris Johnson said speaking of the British Government’s position. He added that Great Britain “is willing to support sanctions against the aggressor”.

The parties have also discussed continuation of British financial and expert assistance in the implementation of reforms, inter alia, in the anti-corruption sphere. In this context, they have particularly discussed cooperation between the British anti-corruption agencies and the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office and National Anti-Corruption Bureau.
