Zelenskyy visits UK on second wartime overseas trip

Ukraine’s president travels to London on Wednesday to meet with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and address the United Kingdom’s parliament, marking only his second visit overseas since Russia launched its invasion.

Zelenskyy is also expected to visit Ukrainian troops training with British forces during his trip.

“President Zelenskyy’s visit to the UK is a testament to his country’s courage, determination and fight, and a testament to the unbreakable friendship between our two countries,” Sunak said in a statement.

His visit comes at a time when Kyiv is urging its allies in the West to deliver more weapons support to help Ukrainian forces push back Russia’s troops.
