Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba had a telephone call with Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs and First Secretary of State of the United Kingdom Dominic Raab.

Dmytro Kuleba informed his colleague about the activities of the Russian Federation carrying out not only military escalation on the contact line with the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions and in Crimea, but also a significant increase of misinformation and propaganda.

"Russian propaganda is not giving up its attempts to impose a misconception about Ukraine's alleged plans to carry out some military actions or provocations. This is complete nonsense. Ukraine has never sought and does not seek escalation. Just the opposite, Ukraine has always sought and continues to seek peace”, said Dmytro Kuleba.

Dominic Raab has assured Dmytro Kuleba that London is closely monitoring the Russian activities. He has reaffirmed Great Britain’s complete solidarity with Ukraine and expressed his confidence that any attempt by Russia to create a large-scale military escalation will have heavy consequences for it. 

The parties discussed an enhanced political and security cooperation between Ukraine and the United Kingdom in the context of the aggravation of the security situation by Russia.
