Foreign Secretary pledges 'hands-on' support for Ukraine in Kyiv visit
The Foreign Secretary has promised Ukraine’s president that the UK will commit “action – not just words” in its support of the war-torn nation. James Cleverly met Volodymyr Zelensky during a visit to Kyiv, just days after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak travelled to the Ukrainian capital. He said the UK intends to keep its pledge to offer “concrete” assistance, as words alone “won’t keep the lights on” or “defend against Russian missiles”. It came as Mr Cleverly announced a package of “hands-on” support to help the nation through the winter.
