Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk met with British Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday in the course of his working visit to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The Ukrainian government press service said Yatseniuk thanked the British government and personally Cameron for their support to Ukraine.

He said that Ukraine and the UK "have a lot in common." Some time ago the Cameron Cabinet approved an austerity package, "and you made your economy truly prosperous and powerful," Yatseniuk said.

The Ukrainian Prime Minister underlined that the Ukrainian government had taken similar steps. He added that the experience of the two countries would help "make the world better, so that the EU stays united and so that the EU is a keynote [element] of support to the territorial integrity and independence of Ukraine."
