During a meeting with UK Secretary of State for Justice David Lammy, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed Russia’s daily missile strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and the strengthening of protection against them.

The President separately emphasized the importance of the declaration signed by Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and France in Paris.

This declaration is the first major step”, — the Head of State noted.
