UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will welcome Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Downing Street in London on Thursday, according to a statement from the prime minister’s office. The visit marks Zelensky’s first trip to the United Kingdom since Starmer entered office in July. The talks come as European governments watch for signals ahead of a high-stakes meeting later this week between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Kyiv and London are expected to discuss continued military and economic support for Ukraine, as well as broader security issues likely to feature in the U.S.–Russia summit.
