According to Ukrinform, Zelensky shared details of the meeting on Telegram.

"It was a pleasure to welcome Wes Streeting to Kyiv for the first time. We appreciate that his visit comes right after yet another Russian attack on our people. I briefed the Secretary on the consequences of this onslaught against life and on our needs, as Russia seeks to significantly ramp up its ballistic missile production ahead of winter," Zelensky said.

The president said the talks focused on how the United Kingdom could help Ukraine better protect its cities and communities from ballistic missile threats, both through bilateral cooperation and multilateral efforts. He noted that Britain has repeatedly supplied Ukraine with critically needed equipment.

"In particular, we discussed opportunities to establish coproduction of certain types of weaponry, as both the UK and Ukraine possess strong battle-proven capabilities. We also discussed sanctions against Russian enterprises involved in the production of ballistic missiles. Every effort to undermine Russia’s war machine and its bet on ballistic terror matters," Zelensky said.

He also expressed gratitude to the United Kingdom, His Majesty, the Prime Minister, and the British people for their unwavering support.

Streeting, formerly the UK's health secretary, was appointed defense secretary in the government led by Andy Burnham.
