UK’s Starmer embraces Zelenskyy after Ukraine leader’s Oval Office showdown – POLITICO

LONDON — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer gave a highly public show of support for Volodymyr Zelenskyy Saturday night, a day after the Ukrainian president was berated in the Oval Office by Donald Trump.

Starmer greeted Zelenskyy — in town for a meeting of European leaders on Sunday — on the steps of No. 10 Downing Street in London, walked towards him and immediately threw his arm around him.

Inside No. 10, Starmer told Zelenskyy he has “full backing across the United Kingdom” — and that both the British government and the British people stand with Ukraine “for as long as it may take.”
