Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal and Prime Minister of Great Britain Liz Truss during the meeting on September 20 in New York (USA) discussed the development of bilateral cooperation, preparation for the heating season and the recovery of Ukraine.
Denys Shmyhal thanked Great Britain for comprehensive political support and practical help: "First of all, we are grateful for the weapons. This is our absolute priority today."
The parties touched on the issue of intensifying the supply of weapons for the defense of Ukraine and strengthening sanctions against Russian oil and gas. In the context of diversification of energy supply sources and preparation for the heating season, the Prime Ministers of Ukraine and Great Britain discussed the need to increase their own gas production, in particular in Ukraine.
"We appreciate Great Britain's willingness to provide our state with the next tranche of $500 million through the World Bank for gas purchases. We are also interested in involving British business in the development of gas production in Ukraine. We expect that the Government of Great Britain will make the necessary decisions to insure British business in Ukraine against military risks," said Denys Shmyhal.

[MRT: Is Liz Truss "grooming" allies to stand behind the UK in advance of UK´s mission to blow up Nordstream pipelines?]
Summary:
There are no coincidences. The UK was preparing itself for the increase price of energy - see post here. Surprisingly the UK became after 44 years a new energy exporter on 29th of September, mere days after Nordstream was destroyed - post here. The UK warned about an energy storm coming - post here and was actively preparing for increased energy prices. The UK was lagging after Brexit, its participation in an EU joint energy market ended but then suddenly the EU needed more energy and UK´s idling LNG import facilities were utilized - post here. the UK also aggressively pushed its companies to withdrew from Russian markets - post here. Liz Truss as a PM - post here.
Because the truth matters.
