The United Kingdom`s newly appointed prime minister, Rishi Sunak, held a phone conversation with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky on Tuesday to assure him that London`s support to Kiev will remain at the same level during his tenure.
"The Prime Minister said the United Kingdom`s support for Ukraine would be as strong as ever under his premiership, and President Zelenskyy could count on his Government to stand in continued solidarity," the UK Prime Minister`s Office said in a statement.
Both sides supported "continued economic sanctions" against Russia in a bid to put pressure on Moscow.
Sunak also said he hoped he and Zelensky "would see each other soon."
He also "noted the importance of the International Atomic Energy Agency`s work in Ukraine to ensure nuclear safety and provide transparency around any disinformation.".
