Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who pledged a £2.26 billion weapons loan to Ukraine. This agreement aims to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities, funded by revenues from frozen Russian assets. Zelensky described the meeting as "meaningful and warm," contrasting with his recent tense exchange with US President Donald Trump. The loan agreement is part of ongoing support from the UK to Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict. Zelensky is scheduled to meet King Charles on Sunday before attending a defense summit with European leaders in London.
