Zelensky has travelled to the UK to meet Prime Minister Keir Starmer and discuss his country’s defences and new ways to increase pressure on Russia ahead of a Nato summit that starts on Tuesday.

The Ukrainian president was dressed in a black blazer and black trousers, rather than his usual combat fatigues, for his trip to the castle.
