Andy Burnham hugs Volodymyr Zelensky outside Downing Street, where the Ukrainian president received the first ceremonial guard of honour ever granted a foreign leader there, as Burnham pledged Britain's backing is…President Volodymyr Zelensky arrives in Britain for talks with Prime Minister Andy Burnham at Downing Street, as the UK fast-tracked £45 million worth of surface-to-air missiles to Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelensky publicly declared he feels "betrayed" by Donald Trump, warning the US president has chosen "the wrong side of history" after striking a diesel import deal with Russia that he said handed Vladimir Putin a "simple victory". Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored during his visit to Downing Street, Zelensky said: "Now Putin is laughing." Andy Burnham greeted the Ukrainian president with a hug, a red carpet, and an unprecedented Irish Guards honour guard, telling him Britain is "behind you and that will not change." Burnham pledged to speed up air defence missile shipments to Ukraine and vowed to "repair bridges" between Kyiv and Washington.
Zelensky also accused Elon Musk's Starlink of being blocked at 1am during a Russian attack, saying 'people were killed' as a result.
Russia breached Trump's proposed energy ceasefire overnight, leaving at least 600,000 Ukrainians without power for the second consecutive night.
Zelensky met King Charles at Buckingham Palace earlier in the day; images captured the two men sharing a laugh together ahead of the No 10 talks.
