Zaluzhnyi was sent a Christmas present by the British Ministry of Defence

British Army Commander Admiral Tony Radakin has sent Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Valeriy Zaluzhnyy a personal Christmas present - a bottle of whisky and a postcard to mark the occasion.

Radakin told The Telegraph that Zaluzhnyy is at the top of his list of contacts with other commanders of the Armed Forces. The admiral has met him personally three times this year in Kiev.

Radakin noted that he had sent Zaluzhny a bottle of his favourite Glenmorangie Scotch whisky and commented on his gift

Britain's military and diplomatic support for Ukraine has been constant despite the political turmoil at home. The terrific British and international efforts will continue

We would like to add that Valeriy Zaluzhniy became Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the summer of 2021
