'We stand with Ukraine for as long as it may take' – Keir Starmer tells Zelensky


The meeting comes a day after Zelensky's meeting with Donald Trump was cut short following a heated exchange in the Oval Office.

Speaking to Russian security officials this week, he said Donald Trump’s approach to Russia offers hope but avoided any predictions about whether warming ties could actually stop the war. Putin remains careful in assessing Trump, balancing the need to avoid looking weak by praising the US - still Russia’s main rival - while ensuring he doesn’t alienate an administration shifting in a direction favourable to the Kremlin.
