00:00Good afternoon, Slavo Green.

00:11Good morning, Slavo.

00:13Can I just welcome you to Downing Street?

00:16It's really a privilege and a pleasure to welcome not only President Zelensky again,

00:21he's a regular now at Downing Street, but to have you here is a really special privilege of mine.

00:28We've just had an excellent bilateral meeting this afternoon.

00:34We've discussed the issues across the conflict, what more we can do to support.

00:41And I'm really proud that this afternoon we're able to announce an industrial military co-production agreement,

00:47the first of its kind so far as Ukraine and the UK are concerned,

00:51which will be a massive step forward now in the contribution that we can continue to make.

00:58And it's really a symbol of not only our joint work in this conflict,

01:03but the 100-year agreement that we've put in place.

01:06And I think it will be very strong and it will transcend both nations.

01:10It's very important to share our experience, your experience, by the way,

01:16first of all, your experience on the battlefield

01:18and your knowledge and experience during inter-flags training missions.

01:23So I'm very thankful for this meeting, for the decision of support militarily and financially in Ukraine.

01:31Slava Ukraine.

01:33Thank you so much.

01:35Fantastic.
