Zelensky in London: Meeting with Starmer Ahead of Trump and Putin Summit.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in London on Thursday, August 14, for a visit, where he was greeted with hugs by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. This was reported by Reuters.

Today, August 14, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had a meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. It was previously reported that this meeting would take place ahead of the summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Putin.

The UK Prime Minister stated that London is ready to 'increase pressure' on Russia if necessary and highly appreciated Trump's efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Earlier, a virtual meeting of the 'Coalition of the Willing' took place, which was attended by Volodymyr Zelensky and US Vice President JD Vance.

At the end of May 2020, the UK identified Russia as the 'most serious threat' to London's security. The ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia remains one of the key topics on the international stage, making visits of this kind highly significant for diplomatic relations.
