Zelensky calls for Trump and Starmer to meet and find common ground
Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Donald Trump and Sir Keir Starmer to meet, after Donald Trump's repeated criticism of the UK prime minister. In an exclusive interview with the BBC after talks with Sir Keir, the Ukrainian president said that while he would not tell Trump what to do, the pair should meet to "re-load the relationship". Zelensky said he would really like President Trump to meet with Starmer so that "they have a common position".
Zelensky warned against division among Western leaders and said he had a "very bad feeling" about the impact of the war in Iran on Ukraine. Zelensky also said he had a "very bad feeling" about the impact of the Middle East conflict on the war in Ukraine, saying negotiations towards peace are being "constantly postponed. There is one reason - war in Iran". Sir Keir welcomed Zelensky to Downing Street on Tuesday - the latest stop on the Ukrainian leader’s tour of European capital cities.
Zelensky visited Paris last week and travels to Madrid on Wednesday. As part of Zelensky's visit to London, the Ukrainian leader addressed MPs in Parliament. Zelensky told British politicians that Ukraine had become pioneers by necessity in modern warfare and is now schooled in techniques they can share with allies.
