President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London on Thursday, a boost for Ukraine after a summit of its main backers was cancelled at a difficult moment in its fight against Russia, APA reports citing Reuters.
Zelenskyy and Starmer have both described the war with Russia as being at a critical point, and the Ukrainian leader is keen for the West to deliver long-range missiles and other support to try to change the balance on the battlefield.
Starmer's spokesperson said Zelenskyy's arrival in London would coincide with a visit by Rutte. Zelenskyy was in Croatia on Wednesday and will meet Pope Francis on Friday.
"He (Starmer) will reiterate the UK's iron-clad support for Ukraine in the face of ongoing Russian aggression," the spokesperson told reporters, adding the British leader had described the war with Russia being at "a critical point".
