Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Britain for the first time since the Russian invasion last February and met with Prime Minister Sunak.
According to the British government, President Zelensky is planning to give a speech at the parliament, which seems to be aimed at appealing for solidarity with Western countries.
Ukrainian President Zelensky arrived by plane at an airport on the outskirts of London, the capital of the United Kingdom, on the morning of the 8th local time and the evening of the 8th Japan time, and was greeted by Prime Minister Sunak of the United Kingdom.
After this, President Zelensky and Prime Minister Sunak moved to the prime minister's official residence in central London and held a summit meeting.
The British government said Zelensky would later address parliament and visit Ukrainian soldiers undergoing military training in Britain.
British media have also reported that President Zelensky will also meet with King Charles.
The prime minister's office issued a statement ahead of President Zelensky's visit, which said the UK would offer increased support to the Ukrainian military, including increased training for fighter pilots.
In December last year, President Zelensky went abroad for the first time since the start of the Russian military invasion, visiting the United States and Poland.
The visit is intended to show both Ukraine and the United Kingdom solidarity with the West at a time when Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine appears to be setting the conditions for another major offensive. It seems that there is.
