Security Guarantees for Ukraine Were Discussed at the Office of the President with a Representative of the UK Foreign Office

President of Ukraine

21 August 2025 - 21:06

As a continuation of the contacts between the President of Ukraine and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, a meeting took place between Deputy Head of the Office of the President Ihor Brusylo and Jonathan Allen, Director General for Defence and Intelligence at the UK Foreign Office.

The parties discussed the development of effective security guarantees for Ukraine from Europe, with the participation of the United States. This topic was a key focus during the meetings of the leaders of Ukraine, the United States, and European partners in Washington on Monday, August 18.

Jonathan Allen emphasized the importance of maintaining defense and financial support for Ukraine, increasing pressure on Russia and its accomplices, and aligning approaches to the use of frozen Russian assets.

"The Ukrainian army will remain the cornerstone of Ukraine's security. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities, develop Ukrainian drone production technologies even after a ceasefire is achieved, and create layered air defense systems," noted the Deputy Head of the Office of the President.

Ukraine and the United Kingdom share a common position: Russia poses a significant threat to the security architecture of the entire European continent, and the Coalition of the Willing can serve as an effective tool to ensure peace in Ukraine and across Europe.

Ihor Brusylo expressed gratitude to the United Kingdom for its support of Ukraine and noted the productive cooperation between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Ukraine and the United Kingdom agreed to continue strengthening their partnership, including preparations for a Strategic Dialogue meeting at the leaders' level. The planning of a meeting of the leaders of the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) member states was also discussed.
