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.

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