YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn his first visit to Ukraine since becoming UK prime minister, Keir Starmer met with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and laid a wreath at a wall of remembrance for those killed in the war with Russia. #ukraine #russia #starmer #uk #zelensky #putin #worldnews #politics
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion, the UK gained a reputation for being one of the biggest advocates for aggressive support for Ukraine. But under Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s tenure, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s administration and its supporters have grown increasingly concerned about Britain’s more cautious approach.
Officials close to Zelenskiy have privately expressed disappointment in Starmer for months, and believe he’s followed outgoing US President Joe Biden’s more wary approach rather than pushing allies to give Ukraine what it needs to win the war outright. Like other officials cited in this story, they asked not to be named discussing sensitive international relations. Starmer’s office declined to comment.
With Starmer traveling to Ukraine on Thursday, Zelenskiy’s team has questioned why it’s taken the UK premier — in office now for more than six months — so long. His predecessor, Rishi Sunak, visited Ukraine within a month of becoming prime minister, while former premier Boris Johnson did so less than two months after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion.
