Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is visiting the UK to meet Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, writes BBC.

In a tweet, he said he would meet his “friend” Mr Sunak to hold “substantive negotiations”.

The UK announced on Thursday that it would supply Ukraine with the long-range missiles it had requested to fight the Russian invasion. Mr Zelensky has been meeting Western leaders in recent days seeking to bolster support for Ukraine.

At the meeting, Sunak said the pair would be “discussing what more we can do to support” Zelensky and Ukraine. The Ukrainian leader is the first foreign dignitary to meet Sunak at Chequers, the prime minister’s official residence.
