Keir Starmer has vowed that the United Kingdom will take every possible action to diminish the influence of Putin, as he met with Volodymyr Zelensky.
During their discussions, the Prime Minister emphasized the necessity of preventing Russia from capitalizing on the surge in global oil prices and exploiting the relaxation of sanctions due to instability in the Middle East.
Zelensky, the Ukrainian leader, visited the UK to finalize a new defense agreement and engaged in talks at Downing Street before addressing members of Parliament in Westminster.
In his remarks, the Prime Minister stressed the importance of maintaining focus on Ukraine amidst the conflicts involving the US, Israel, and Iran. He underscored the need to continue supporting Ukraine and prevent Putin from benefiting from the situations in Iran.
In response to the global oil supply concerns arising from the Iran-related events, the US temporarily eased restrictions on Russian oil. Zelensky expressed gratitude to the UK for its unwavering support during challenging times.
During his visit, Zelensky was welcomed by the King at Buckingham Palace, where discussions also involved NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. They met with soldiers who will utilize Ukrainian-made Nemesis heavy drones, known for their effectiveness against Russian tanks.
Zelensky later addressed MPs, cautioning about the collaboration between the Iranian regime and Russia, labeling them as “brothers in hatred.” He highlighted the shared weaponry and the threat they pose to Europe and its allies.
