"Had a telephone conversation with the Prime Minister of Great Britain Rishi Sunak. They discussed multifaceted defense support for Ukraine and help with the winter period. They supported the continuation of the "grain initiative" and agreed on positions on the eve of important international events," the message reads.
At the same time, the British Prime Minister's office reported that the parties discussed the Russian Federation's statements about withdrawing from Kherson and the issue of Britain's support for Ukraine.
