Ukraine, UK intensify cooperation on national security – Klimkin
Ukraine and the United Kingdom have agreed to intensify bilateral cooperation on national security issues, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has said following his meeting with British prime minister's National Security Advisor Mark Lyall Grant in London.
"I welcome the readiness of the British side to take part in international initiatives aimed at increasing pressure on Russia, so that it fulfills its obligations under the Minsk agreements, as well as at de-occupation of the Crimean peninsular," Foreign Ministry's press service cited Klimkin as saying on Wednesday.
In a conversation with Grant, the Ukrainian minister also emphasized the importance to maintain sanctions against Russia until Ukraine's territorial integrity is restored.
Klimkin also thanked the UK for its assistance in the protection of Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty, as well as for the support of democratic reforms in the country.
