A very good and substantive conversation with UK Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. I thanked him for the UK’s leadership within the Ramstein format and for the new sanctions against Russia. Moscow must feel the cost of its aggression just as it deserves. This work will continue. I informed the Prime Minister about yesterday’s meeting with the Russian side in Istanbul, where we managed to reach an agreement on the next prisoner exchange. The Ukrainian delegation yet again emphasized the need for a ceasefire and proposed holding a meeting on the level of leaders by the end of August. We discussed diplomatic efforts with partners in Europe and the United States to strengthen security. Thank you for the unwavering support. I also spoke about the preparation of a bill aimed at strengthening the legal system and ensuring the independence and effectiveness of Ukraine’s anti-corruption infrastructure. Keir suggested involving experts who could contribute to long-term cooperation. We agreed to stay in contact on this matter. We see eye to eye on the need to defend the values of a normal life, counter any Russian influence or interference, and do everything to make our Europe stronger.(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
