Zelenskyy seeks UK military aid amid US uncertainty

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London on March 1. This meeting comes after a tense exchange with U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance regarding U.S. support for Ukraine. Zelenskyy aims to secure continued military aid and long-term security commitments from the UK. Discussions will likely focus on enhancing Ukraine’s air defense and ensuring a steady supply of military assistance amid ongoing Russian aggression. The meeting precedes a European summit where leaders will discuss support for Ukraine. Starmer has reaffirmed the UK’s commitment to assist Ukraine, especially as U.S. backing appears uncertain following the recent White House clash.
