UK Urges Stronger Global Backing for Ukraine as Zelenskiy Visits London

Britain's King Charles, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Major Ben Tracey inspect a guard of honour at Windsor Castle, Berkshire.

Britain has called on its allies to intensify support for Ukraine as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy arrived in London for high-level talks. Prime Minister Keir Starmer pressed partner nations to agree on using frozen Russian assets to bolster Kyiv’s position in any future peace negotiations.

The UK also urged members of the so-called “Coalition of the Willing” to step up military aid, including providing long-range missiles, while pushing for measures to reduce Russia’s influence on global energy markets.

European Union leaders recently pledged to meet Ukraine’s financial needs over the next two years, though divisions remain over whether frozen Russian funds should be redirected to Kyiv. Zelenskiy’s visit underscores the urgency of securing broader international commitments as Ukraine continues to resist Russian aggression.
