Representatives of Ukraine have held the second round of consultations with Britain on the conclusion of a bilateral agreement on security guarantees. This was reported by the press service of the Office of the President.
The Ukrainian delegation was headed by Deputy Head of the OP Ihor Zhovkva and also included Deputy Head of the OP Roman Mashovets, Deputy Foreign Minister Mykola Tochytskyi, and representatives of the Ministry of Defense.
"The second round of consultations showed the progress we have made since the start of bilateral security talks. Great Britain plays an important role in strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities, its economic and financial stability, as well as in gradually bringing our country closer to NATO membership, which will be a reliable guarantee," Zhovkva said.
