President Volodymyr Zelensky was in Britain on 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. Zelensky landed by helicopter at Chequers—the British leader’s official country retreat—and was greeted by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on his second trip to the UK since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Zelensky thanked Britain for its support so far, and said his discussions with Sunak would cover “very important issues, urgent support for Ukraine”. He said the war was a matter of “security not only for Ukraine, but for all of Europe.”
