Boris Johnson and Witold Waszczykowski expressed the belief that Russian aggression against Ukraine demands a decisive response, so the pressure on Russia from the international community should be strengthened to restore the territorial integrity of Ukraine within internationally recognized borders.
Klimkin thanked them for the solidarity and support of Ukraine. He highlighted the practical help which Britain and Poland provide the training of the Ukrainian military, the Ukrainian treatment of wounded soldiers, as well as in the implementation of systemic socio-economic reforms.
