Head of the President's Office of Ukraine Andriy Yermak said in his Telegram, the president of Ukraine, the team of the President's Office and the government discussed with Johnson the need to supply heavy weapons and air defense systems, economic support for Ukraine, enhancing sanctions pressure on Russia, in particular, the proposals of the McFaul-Yermak international expert group.

The agenda also included security guarantees for Ukraine and the need for Russia to compensate for the damage caused to the Ukrainian state.

"We are very grateful to Britain for its powerful support. As they say, friends are known in trouble. We have common goals and an understanding of how to achieve them. Ukraine will win with such strong allies," Yermak said.
