As Sunak noted, Great Britain and Poland provide a lot of military aid to Ukraine. He drew attention to another package of British aid to Kyiv in the amount of half a billion pounds to further support Kyiv.

He also expressed hope that the West will use the frozen assets of the Russian Federation to help Ukraine.

As Sunak noted, he discussed with Tusk joint production in the field of defense industry, in particular naval frigates. He also noted that London will help strengthen the Polish air defense system.

"We cooperate in all formats of air defense. We will also send Typhoon fighters, which will patrol the airspace of Poland," the British Prime Minister said.

He said that London will also send 16,000 troops to Poland as part of the UK's aid, as Poland is at the center of European security.
