According to the message, Zelenskyy thanked the UK for its strong support in the fight against Russian aggression, and personally thanked Sunak for his leadership in creating tank and aviation coalitions, including his readiness to begin training Ukrainian pilots.
The president highlighted the transfer of long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Ukrainian defenders and emphasized that "this is the exact weapon we need today, it helps us win." In recent weeks, Kyiv used these long-range missiles to deliver a series of devastating strikes on Russian ammo and fuel depots all across the temporarily occupied parts of southern and eastern Ukraine.
Zelenskyy also briefed the PM of the situation on the battlefield, noting that in recent days Russia has intensified missile and drone attacks.
