The President thanked the United Kingdom for its support, in particular for its willingness to allocate a minimum of GBP 3 billion annually for Ukraine's needs.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Keir Starmer discussed continued defense cooperation and agreed to maintain close interaction with European leaders regarding steps aimed at ensuring the strongest possible position for Ukraine in the face of any developments.

The Head of State emphasized the need for Ukraine to receive an invitation to NATO and to enhance its long-range capabilities.
