The new Minister of Defense of Great Britain, Grant Shepps, has arrived in Kyiv. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has already met with him. This was reported on Thursday, September 28, by the press service of the President's Office.

At the meeting, one of the topics discussed was the strengthening of Ukrainian air defense. Zelensky also thanked the United Kingdom for its strong financial, defense, and humanitarian support for Ukraine during the war.

As a reminder, Shepps was appointed in late August and replaced Minister Ben Wallace, who had been in charge of the department since the beginning of the war in Ukraine.
