Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky landed in London on Monday, June 23 and will meet with King Charles III and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer among other officials.
The Ukrainian leader, who is seeking to shore up support for his country after more than three years of Russia’s invasion, is also expected at a NATO summit in The Hague later this week.
According to Zelensky’s spokesman, the main purpose of the trip was to “deepen defence cooperation.”
