Rishi Sunak has travelled to Ukraine to meet its president, Volodymyr Zelensky, and confirm a major new package of air defence for the war-torn country. The visit is Mr Sunak’s first since he became prime minister, and follows in the footsteps of his predecessor Boris Johnson, who developed a personal friendship with the Ukrainian leader.
Mr Sunak told Mr Zelensky that Britain knows “what it means to fight for freedom” and would be with him and his citizens “all the way”.
