Starmer expresses support for Zelensky after Trump's comments on Ukraine's elections

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to express support for him as Ukraine's democratically elected leader. This follows comments from Donald Trump, who labeled Zelensky a "dictator" without elections. Starmer's call emphasized the reasonableness of suspending elections during wartime, referencing the UK's actions during World War Two. This came after a heated exchange between Zelensky and Trump, with Trump making false claims about Zelensky's approval rating. Other UK political leaders also criticized Trump's remarks. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch reaffirmed Zelensky's legitimacy, while Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey called for a united front against Trump's statements.
