UK, Canada agree to step up pressure on Russia to end war in Ukraine

This issue was discussed during a meeting between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, according to the Canadian prime minister's office, Ukrinform reports.

"The prime ministers also reaffirmed their determination to maintain pressure on Russia to end its war of aggression against Ukraine and underscored Canada and the UK's steadfast support for Ukraine," the statement said.

Carney and Starmer also discussed the situation in the Middle East.

"They condemned the Iranian regime's missile and drone attacks, including on civilian and energy infrastructure, and expressed deep concern over the toll on civilians, the risk of further regional escalation, and the broader global economic consequences of the conflict, including rising energy prices," the statement said.

Earlier this week, Mark Carney paid an official visit to the United Kingdom.
