President Zelensky landed in the UK on Wednesday morning as part of a surprise visit to the country where he will meet British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Buckingham Palace has announced an additional appointment on Volodymyr Zelensky Day in the UK. He will be received by King Carlos III. The interview will take place in the afternoon, the palace said without further details.
British support for Ukraine
This is the second foreign visit by President Zelensky since the start of the Russian invasion a year ago. Last December he traveled to Washington, where he was greeted like a hero.
The Ukrainian president should take advantage of his visit to the UK to discuss with British leaders the country’s support for Ukraine, in terms of military equipment. Visiting Kyiv in November 2022, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced new British military aid of €57 million, as well as humanitarian aid of €18 million.
Volodymyr Zelensky will also deliver a speech in the House of Commons.
