Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to make history by addressing the British Cabinet in person, becoming the first foreign leader to do so since U.S. President Bill Clinton in 1997. Zelenskyy's visit aims to brief ministers on the current situation in Ukraine and emphasize the importance of European countries bolstering defense production in response to Russian aggression.
During the meeting, Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Keir Starmer are expected to finalize a treaty that will grant Ukraine access to 3.5 billion pounds ($4.5 billion) of export financing for the purchase of weapons. Starmer highlighted the significance of Ukraine in the government's agenda, stressing the need for international support and solidarity against Russian advances.
