Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair visits Kyiv

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko had a meeting with former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair who arrived in Kyiv to take part in the 12th Yalta European Strategy Annual Meeting.

The President thanked Tony Blair for a lasting powerful protection of Ukraine by the United Kingdom in the international arena: “Your country is one of the strongest advocates of Ukraine in the process of its European integration. You provide significant assistance in economic, political, social and security spheres,” the Head of State noted.

The President informed Tony Blair on the situation in Donbas noting almost full compliance with the ceasefire regime since the end of August. It has happened for the first time in 1.5 years.


The Head of State also reminded that immediately after successful vote in the Parliament, sanctions against the country-aggressor have been prolonged by the EU. “It demonstrates unity of the European Union, which is crucial for us today,” the President said.

Tony Blair commended Ukraine’s progress on the track of reforms and assured of full support for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of our state.
