A readout of the Prime Minister's meeting with President
Zelenskyy in Kyiv this morning, during his fourth visit to
Ukraine.
A Downing Street spokesperson said:
The Prime Minister met President Zelenskyy in Kyiv this morning,
during his fourth visit to Ukraine.
The Prime Minister said that he was grateful and deeply humbled
to receive the Order of Freedom for outstanding merit, the
highest honour that can be given in Ukraine to anyone from
another country.
They discussed the support the UK has provided to Ukraine since
the beginning of Russia's illegal war and the Prime Minister was
clear that this would be unwavering, and that the whole of the UK
would continue to stand behind Ukraine in their fight against
Putin's brutal regime.
The leaders reflected on the progress made to date in putting
Ukraine in the strongest possible position to achieve victory and
a lasting peace. The Prime Minister said he was certain that
would continue.
They agreed that the increase in attacks on Kyiv in recent weeks
was despicable and the Prime Minister praised the Ukrainian
people's remarkable courage and defiance, as the war runs into
its fifth year.
They thanked each other for all the close work in the last two
years and said that the relationship between the UK and Ukraine
was stronger than ever before.
They said that they would continue to stay in close contact and
looked forward to seeing each other again.
