The United Kingdom is to allocate over 35 million pounds for Ukraine's reform and anti-corruption agendas in 2018-2019.

British Ambassador to Ukraine Judith Gough in turn said: "Ukraine remains a priority with strategic importance for the long-term security, stability and prosperity of the European continent and for UK interests."
