Starmer supports Zelensky after Trump calls him a dictator

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer expressed support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after Donald Trump labeled him a "dictator." Starmer emphasized Zelensky's status as a democratically elected leader and noted the precedent of suspending elections during wartime. The exchange follows Trump's criticism of Zelensky for delaying elections amid martial law. Zelensky countered that Trump is spreading disinformation, while other UK political figures also defended him against Trump's remarks. Starmer is set to meet Trump next week to discuss Ukraine and European security. Meanwhile, UK ministers are engaging with allies, with Defence Secretary John Healey in Norway and Foreign Secretary David Lammy attending a G20 meeting in South Africa.
