“Both leaders agreed on the need to continue to place pressure on Putin’s barbaric regime through continued economic sanctions,” the spokesperson said.

Sunak vowed that the “terrible war…must be seen successfully to its conclusion” as President Zelensky said he was “ready to continue strengthening the strategic partnership” with the United Kingdom.

The Prime Minister also “noted the importance” of the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Ukraine to “ensure nuclear safety” and “provide transparency around any disinformation”.

In a tweet to Sunak, President Zelensky wished the new PM to “overcome all the challenges facing British society and the whole world today”.

The newly appointed leader certainly has his work cut out for him as he vowed to work day in and day out to solve the issues currently hanging over the nation.

Alongside the issue of Ukraine and defence spending, Sunak’s biggest concern will be getting the economy back on track, including decisions about the Energy Price Guarantee and reassuring the markets of economic stability.
