Zelenskyy arrives in UK: Visit schedule

“The countries of the European area are gathering for the fourth time at the European Political Community Summit to discuss common issues and challenges. I have arrived in the UK to participate in the Summit, hold bilateral meetings with partners, and sign new security agreements,” he says.

Zelenskyy adds that a separate program of the visit is Ukraine's relations with the UK.

“I will meet with His Majesty King Charles III, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, government officials, and executives from defense companies. We will sign an intergovernmental agreement on support for the Ukrainian defense and industrial complex, discuss future defense cooperation, and expand our defense capabilities.,” he says.

The President adds that from the first days of the full-scale invasion, the UK was one step ahead in its determination to support Ukraine.

“This is the kind of resolve we need to stop Russian terror,” he emphasizes.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with Zelenskyy at the European Political Community summit in Oxfordshire.

Starmer welcomed the leaders to the summit and said that the priority was to reaffirm unwavering support for Ukraine.

He notes that Zelenskiy had previously asked for additional air defense funds before the start of the new school year.

He says that it really struck him because going back to school after summer vacation should be a moment of joy and excitement for children, with new uniforms, new notebooks, talking about how much their friends had grown over the summer, and reuniting with friends. He questions how anyone could see that as a goal

Earlier, The Guardian reported that Zelenskyy would visit the UK and Ireland.
