Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what practical steps they intend to take to strengthen bilateral relations with Ukraine, including future UK ministerial meetings with new President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

​The Prime Minister spoke with President-elect Zelenskiy by telephone on 23 April, and reiterated the UK's support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. She expressed our willingness to increase our already deep partnership across a range of areas. The Prime Minister stressed the importance of our two countries working together alongside the international community to deter Russian aggression, and invited Mr Zelenskiy to visit the UK at the earliest opportunity. We look forward to further engagement with Mr Zelenskiy after his inauguration.
