Zelensky to Meet Starmer in London Ahead of EU Summit
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to meet with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London on Saturday, just one day before a key summit gathering 12 European leaders in the British capital. The meeting, which will take place in Downing Street, underscores the UK's continued support for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
A spokeswoman for the Prime Minister's office confirmed the meeting, stating, "The Prime Minister and President Zelensky will be meeting in Downing Street this afternoon." British media outlets reported that a Ukrainian-flagged plane had landed at an airport north of London, marking Zelensky's arrival in the UK for a series of high-level diplomatic talks.
The summit, scheduled to take place on Sunday, will bring together European leaders to discuss pressing issues, including security in the region and further support for Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. The UK has been a key ally to Ukraine since the beginning of the war, providing military aid, financial support, and political backing.
This visit comes at a critical moment in the ongoing conflict, with Zelensky seeking further international backing and coordination among European nations to bolster Ukraine’s defense and push for a peaceful resolution. The meeting with Starmer is expected to focus on strengthening the UK's commitment to Ukraine and discussing ways to enhance cooperation in both military and humanitarian efforts.
