President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in Britain Monday on his whirlwind European tour, as the staunch ally of Kyiv promised to give Ukraine hundreds more missiles and attack drones in an effort to change the course of the war.
Zelenskyy thanked Britain for its support so far, and said his discussions with Sunak would cover "very important issues, urgent support for Ukraine".Sunak told Zelenskyy that "your leadership, your country's bravery and fortitude are an inspiration to us all."
The U.K. has become one of Ukraine's major military allies, sending Kyiv short-range missiles and Challenger tanks and training 15,000 Ukrainian troops on British soil. Last week Britain announced it had sent Ukraine Storm Shadow cruise missiles, which have a range of more than 250 kilometres -- the first known shipment of the weaponry that Kyiv has long sought from its allies.
Zelenskyy and Macron met for about three hours on Sunday at the French presidential Elysee Palace -- an encounter kept under wraps until shortly before the Ukrainian leader's arrival in Paris. France had dispatched a plane to pick up Zelenskyy in Germany, where he met with Chancellor Olaf Scholz earlier Sunday and discussed his country's planned counteroffensive.
