Political Community Summit in Moldova to discuss the latest
battlefield situation in Ukraine.
The leaders reflected on their meeting at the G7 in Hiroshima,
and the bravery and courage demonstrated by Ukrainian forces in
recent days and weeks.
The President updated on the situation on the ground in Ukraine
and both discussed how best Ukraine’s counter-offensive could be
supported by the international community. The Prime Minister

the coming weeks. They agreed to work with international partners
to do even more to protect Ukrainian cities and civilians from
Russia’s barbaric missile and drone attacks.
Looking ahead to the NATO leaders’ summit in Vilnius next month,
the Prime Minister reiterated that Ukraine’ rightful place was in
the Alliance and said the UK would support their aspirations for
membership in the coming years.
Discussing the importance of ensuring a strong economic recovery
for Ukraine, the Prime Minister updated on preparations for the

future for Ukraine.
