Ukraine's Zelensky Meets King Charles, PM Starmer Before NATO Summit Amid Attacks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visited the UK to meet with King Charles at Windsor Castle, followed by lunch, as part of a short visit focused on strengthening Ukraine's defense and increasing pressure on Russia ahead of a NATO summit. This was their third meeting in 2025, underscoring the UK's ongoing support for Ukraine amid recent deadly Russian attacks, which reportedly involved North Korean missiles. Zelenskiy also planned meetings with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, parliament speakers, and Ukrainian military personnel training in the UK. The visit comes at a critical time with NATO leaders preparing for a summit centered on increased defense spending and support for Ukraine. Zelenskiy condemned the coalition of Russia, North Korea, and Iran for their attacks, emphasizing the urgent need for international cooperation to end the conflict. While he has been invited to the NATO summit, his participation in the main discussions remains uncertain.
