LONDON: King Charles will hold an audience with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during his trip to the United Kingdom on Wednesday, Buckingham Palace said.
Zelensky is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and address the British parliament, as well as King Charles’ visit to his royal residence in London.
Zelensky’s trip to Britain is his second foreign visit since Russia invaded Ukraine nearly a year ago, and comes at a time when Kyiv is urging the West for more military support.
Britain has pledged to expand the training of Ukrainian troops to include fighter jet pilots and marines, with Sunak adding that he wants to ensure that “Ukraine has a military capable of protecting its interests in the future.” (Reuters)
