Zhovkva thus highlighted the strategic nature of the bilateral relations between the two countries and the defense support provided by the United Kingdom.

During the meeting, the parties discussed key areas of further assistance from allies in the field of security and defense, taking into account the main elements of the Victory Plan. The priority was long-range weapons and permission to use them against military targets in Russia.
