British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Downing Street, showing support after Zelenskyy's tense meeting with Donald Trump. Starmer emphasized the UK's backing for Ukraine ahead of a summit with European leaders. Starmer plans to host 14 European leaders on Sunday to discuss military and financial support for Ukraine. He aims to strengthen Ukraine's position for peace talks with Russia and encourage European nations to contribute troops for post-ceasefire stabilization. The summit will include leaders from Germany, Italy, and Poland, among others. Starmer's discussions will focus on the importance of US involvement in any peace agreement and the need for a unified European response to support Ukraine.
