UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is holding a meeting with President Zelensky in Kyiv this afternoon.
The Ukrainian Embassy in London has tweeted a photograph of the two men holding talks.
We’ll bring you more details when we get them. The deputy head of the Ukrainian president’s office, Andriy Sybiha, said on Facebook that Johnson and Zelensky were holding “a tête-à-tête meeting”.
“The UK is the leader in defence support for Ukraine. The leader in the anti-war coalition. The leader in sanctions against the Russian aggressor,” he added. Downing Street has now confirmed Johnson’s meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
A Number 10 spokesman said: “The prime minister has travelled to Ukraine to meet President Zelensky in person, in a show of solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
“They will discuss the UK’s long term support to Ukraine and the PM will set out a new package of financial and military aid.”
