Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at Downing Street for talks with UK Labour leader Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, focusing on enhancing European air defense in light of increasing Russian aggression. Zelensky stated that Europe must play a vital role in negotiations and emphasized the need for stronger cooperation among allies. This meeting follows a recent Russian drone strike that damaged a nuclear fuel storage facility near Kyiv, which Zelensky condemned as 'extremely vile.' He highlighted the importance of increasing pressure on Russia and expressed gratitude to allies for their support. The UK has committed £21.8 billion to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began in February 2022, with a significant number of Ukrainians relocating to the UK. The discussions are expected to lead to a new military aid package for Ukraine as tensions continue to rise, with Zelensky asserting that Ukraine will respond to attacks and grow stronger each day.
