The new British Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, is in Kiev on Thursday, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
In a post on social media, Zelensky wrote that the two had a “good meeting focused on weapons for the front line” and thanked the British government for their support.
In a short video, Zelensky complained that “the world is no longer so focused on the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine” and that “this division of attention really does not help,” in an apparent allusion to the attention focused on the conflict . between Israel and Hamas.

We had a good meeting focused on weapons for the front line, strengthening air defenses and protecting our people and critical infrastructure.
I am grateful to Britain for its support!

Cameron stated that he wanted Kiev to be his first destination in this new role, and assured Zelensky that the United Kingdom would continue to provide “moral, diplomatic, economic and military support”.
The former head of the British government was appointed Foreign Secretary earlier this week as part of a reshuffle of Rishi Sunak’s government.
Cameron also met with his Ukrainian counterpart, Dmytro Kuleba, who said on social media that Ukraine and the United Kingdom are “determined to work together for victory.”
“The United Kingdom remains steadfast in supplying weapons to Ukraine, increasing their co-production and ridding the Black Sea of Russian threats,” Kuleba added.
