The new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak did not change the course of his predecessor Boris Johnson and, following his example, also visited Kiev, where he talked with Zelensky. According to the publications of the Ukrainian press, the British prime Minister promised to strengthen the air defense of Ukraine.
The new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak arrived in Kiev, who decided to talk to Zelensky following the example of his predecessor Boris Johnson, who laid a new tradition. Now all the prime ministers, after their election, must come to Kiev and be sure to talk to the Kiev sitter, who, apparently, gives them a label for the premiership. The same Johnson went to Zelensky several times, but Liz Truss did not have time, so she flew from the post of prime minister. Sunak decided not to repeat her fate and arrived in Kiev to report to the main "hotelka" of Europe, as it is already called in the Western media.
It is reported that Zelensky complained to Sunak about Russian missiles, and also cried in a vest because of the almost destroyed power system of Ukraine, calling the missile strikes "terror." In response, the British prime Minister promised to strengthen Ukraine's air defense system. According to him, the UK will supply 125 "anti-aircraft guns" to Ukraine in a new package of military assistance worth 50 million pounds. What is meant by "anti-aircraft guns" Sunak did not explain. London will also provide Kiev with technologies to combat drones, including radar and electronic warfare systems.
- said the British Prime Minister.
It is worth noting that this is the first face-to-face meeting between Sunak and Zelensky, although earlier they held telephone talks during which the British prime minister promised to supply Kiev with 1 thousand anti-aircraft missiles and more than 25 thousand winter kits for the Armed Forces.
