British Prime Minister (PM) Keir Starmer expressed his condolences to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a phone call on Friday, following the recent attack on Kyiv, which he described as a painful reminder of the cost of war.
British PM also reviewed the outcomes of U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent visit to the United Kingdom.
Both leaders welcomed a new deadline set by President Trump for Russia to move forward toward a peace agreement, according to a statement on the UK government’s website.
Regarding the agreement signed in June on battlefield technology sharing and the expansion of drone production, Starmer briefed Zelensky on the rapid progress made in its implementation.
He also praised the Ukrainian parliament’s adoption of an anti-corruption law earlier this week.
The two leaders agreed to maintain close coordination and communication in the coming period.
