Pravda Ukraine

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will visit London on 10 October, where he will meet with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

Details: Starmer’s spokesperson said Zelenskyy’s visit will coincide with Rutte’s visit to London. 

“He [Starmer] will reiterate the UK’s iron-clad support for Ukraine in the face of ongoing Russian aggression,” the spokesperson told reporters. 

He added that Starmer described the war with Russia as being at “a critical point”.

Background:

  • It was previously stated that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy would meet with his French counterpart Macron in Paris on 10 October. 
  • It has also been unofficially reported that Zelenskyy is expected to visit Berlin on Friday, 11 October, for talks with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
  • This visit was evidently planned to coincide with a meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group (also known as the Ramstein format) on 12 October, which was eventually postponed. It remains unclear whether it will take place at leaders’ level, as originally planned for this week.
