The United Kingdom can demonstrate leadership in strengthening Ukraine, which will enable the creation of a new sustainable system of European security. This was stated by Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak in his speech at the Chatham House roundtable on Ukrainian issues.

During a stopover in London on his way back from the United States, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak met with the National Security Adviser to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Jonathan Powell.

A Ukrainian delegation led by First Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Economy of Ukraine Yuliia Svyrydenko is on a visit to the United States, in the framework of which Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak visited Washington, New York and Florida.

Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Ihor Zhovkva held a meeting with Minister for European Affairs of Denmark Marie Bjerre, who arrived in Kyiv as part of a delegation of Danish MEPs led by Vice-President of the European Parliament Christel Schaldemose.

Dariia Zarivna, Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President and Chief Operating Officer of Bring Kids Back UA, presented a report to the UN Security Council on systematic gross violations of Ukrainian children's rights: murders, sexual violence, illegal adoptions, and militarization of young Ukrainians committed by Russia during its full-scale aggression against Ukraine.

Latin American nations have extensive experience in fighting for the rescue of children, and Ukraine relies on their voice in bringing home young Ukrainians abducted by the Russian occupiers.

Andriy Yermak noted that such visits are very important, since representatives of different countries can witness and feel firsthand what Ukrainians are going through today in the face of Russia's full-scale aggression.

“We have a common goal – to improve the effectiveness of work on the search, return and reintegration of children. It is also important to document cases of deportation and forced displacement in order to achieve justice. That is why we actively involve Ukrainian civil society in Bring Kids Back UA,” Dariia Zarivna emphasized.
