Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to visit the United Kingdom today for talks with Keir Starmer amid a push for bolstered Western support against Russia’s invasion.
Zelenskyy is expected to be joined by NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte for a meeting with the prime minister in 10 Downing Street, The Standard has reported.
It comes as Ukraine continues to urge Western powers to allow use of their long-range munitions to strike targets in Russia and hamper the Kremlin’s war machine.

The Prime Minister’s official spokesman told The Standard: “He will reiterate the UK’s iron-clad support for Ukraine in the face of ongoing Russian aggression.
“Clearly, recently at the UN General Assembly, the PM reiterated that we are at a critical point for Ukraine and their defence against Russian aggression and the whole world must stand with them for as long as it takes.”
