Zelensky praised the recent transfer of Storm Shadow long-range missiles to Ukraine.

"These are exactly the weapons we need today. They help us win," he emphasized.

At the meeting, Zelensky informed the UK Prime Minister about the situation at the front. The President emphasized that in recent days, the Russian aggressor has significantly intensified missile terror and drone attacks, which demonstrates the necessity of bolstering the air defense of Ukraine.

“To protect our population and civilian infrastructure, it is necessary to create an air shield over Ukrainian cities," Zelensky said.

The parties also touched upon the issue of Ukraine's expectations from the NATO Summit in Vilnius. Zelensky emphasized that it is important for Ukraine to receive a clear signal about the prospects of membership in the Alliance, which would be another motivational factor for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the entire Ukrainian people.

The interlocutors paid special attention to the implementation of the Ukrainian Peace Formula and the organization of the Global Peace Summit, the need to further increase pressure on the aggressor state, and preparations for the London International Conference on the Reconstruction of Ukraine.

As reported, President Volodymyr Zelensky is on a visit to Moldova on Thursday, where he took part in the opening of a summit of the European Political Community.
