British Queen celebrates

 

Martin Harris presented his credentials to the President of Ukraine as His Majesty’s new Ambassador to Ukraine.

Today, the new British Ambassador to Ukraine Martin Harris CMG OBE presented his Letters of Credence to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and reiterated the UK’s unflinching support.

Speaking at a ceremony in historic St Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv, Martin Harris said:

I’m honoured to lead the UK’s Embassy as we support Ukraine in its fight for freedom and democracy. Ukraine is defending the international principles underpinning the UK’s security, as well as its own.

The courage and resolve of the Ukrainian armed forces and people are a constant inspiration. It is a privilege to be here in Ukraine standing alongside them.

Our relationship has never been closer or more important. Together we are stronger.
