Ukraine news latest — UN chief gives chilling nuclear warning as Pentagon leaker charged in court TODAY

Rishi Sunak discussed ‘efforts to accelerate military support’ in a call with Zelensky

Volodymyr Zelensky and Rishi Sunak discussed the war during a call today.

In a readout of the call, the UK’s government said: “The leaders discussed the latest situation on the battlefield and the prime minister paid tribute to the efforts of the Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut.

“Discussing the abhorrent beheading of a Ukrainian soldier shown on social media in recent days, the prime minister said the video was appalling and those responsible had to be held to account.

“The leaders also discussed efforts to accelerate military support to Ukraine, and the prime minister said the UK and its allies needed to continue to ensure Ukraine was in the strongest possible position to build on its recent battlefield successes.

“That included increasing interoperability with Nato both in the short and long term, the prime minister added.”
