Ambassador of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to Ukraine Judith Gough has paid a working visit to the cities of Slaviansk and Kramatorsk, Donetsk region.

According to the press center of the ATO headquarters, during the meeting the ambassador met with servicemen of one of the units of the Air Assault of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who defended and held positions in these cities at the beginning of the invasion of the occupation forces in Ukraine in 2014. "The defenders of Ukraine informed Gough about the events they participated in during the liberation of Ukrainian cities from the invaders in 2014, in particular, Slaviansk," the report said.

The Ukrainian side expressed its gratitude for the support provided by the UK to the development of the system for training the servicemen of the Armed Forces through training, especially in tactical medicine, which significantly increased the capabilities of the units that perform the assignment in the ATO area.

In turn, Gough noted that every working visit to the east of Ukraine "provides an opportunity to better see and understand the processes and situation in Donbas."
