Starmer arrived in Kyiv with an important message for Zelenskyy

On July 16, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Ukraine on an official visit. In Kyiv, he will meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and confirm that London’s support for Ukraine will remain unchanged even after his upcoming resignation.

Starmer will meet with Zelenskyy four days before leaving Downing Street. He will be succeeded as prime minister by Andy Burnham.

During his two years in office, the current British leader has placed particular emphasis on supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia.

On July 16, Starmer arrived in Kyiv with an important message.

“I am extremely proud of Britain’s contribution. This work will continue, and our unwavering support for Ukraine will remain steadfast. Not only for the sake of Ukraine and European security, but also for the sake of British families who have felt the effects of this war through rising prices,” the British prime minister said.

Starmer also plans to tell Zelenskyy that London will continue to do everything possible to ensure Ukraine’s victory in the war.

“When I became prime minister, I knew that the United Kingdom must not only support Ukraine in this difficult time but also help lay the foundation for its long-term security and success,” the British leader explained.

This was reported with reference to The Telegraph.

Prime Minister Starmer bid farewell to members of the British Parliament.

Within the UK Labour Party, talk has intensified about a possible leadership change and the potential resignation of Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is considered the leading contender to replace him.

The British Foreign Secretary called on Starmer to resign.
