I was proud of the reception that the UK gave to the Ukrainian president yesterday.

That is my view. I communicated it to the first secretary [sic] very clearly, and he has a different view.

Obviously, it’s been a difficult few days for President Zelensky, and that’s why I invited him to the UK to give him that lift, and to see what more we could do.

We obviously have close conversations with our US counterparts, and what I’m going to do is build that bridge and make sure that we’re still all working together to support Ukraine.
