“I had a phone call with British PM Rishi Sunak. We discussed the multifaceted defense support for Ukraine and assistance in enduring the winter period,” Zelensky said on Twitter. 

"We also spoke in favor of the continuation of the ‘grain deal’ and agreed positions on the eve of important international events."
