Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will meet British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Saturday.
The visit is said to be ahead of a wider summit of European leaders in London on Sunday to discuss a peace plan for Ukraine.
A Starmer’s office spokesman said the Prime Minister and President Zelenskiy will be meeting in Downing Street this afternoon.
The meeting comes amid an extraordinary public spat between Zelenskiy and Donald Trump at the White House over the war with Russia, with the US president threatening to withdraw support for Ukraine.
Zelenskiy had seen the meeting in the Oval Office as an opportunity to convince the United States not to side with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who ordered the invasion of Ukraine three years ago.
It could be recalled that Starmer spoke to both Trump and Zelenskiy on Friday and expressed his unwavering support for Ukraine, echoing similar statements of backing for Zelenskiy from other European leaders.
