YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDefence and security analyst, Tobias Ellwood, speaks to Shelagh Fogarty.
The Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has shown support for the "democratically elected" President of Ukraine following comments made by Donald Trump.
The US president took aim at Zelenskyy after he accused Trump of "helping Putin to come out of isolation" by working with him.
On Wednesday evening, Number 10 released a statement expressing Keir Starmer's support for the Ukrainian leader following a phone call.
In the call, the Prime Minister said it was "perfectly reasonable to suspend elections during war time as the UK did during World War Two", according to a Downing Street spokesperson.
A Downing Street spokesperson said: “The Prime Minister spoke to President Zelenskyy this evening and stressed the need for everyone to work together.
“The Prime Minister expressed his support for President Zelenskyy as Ukraine’s democratically elected leader and said that it was perfectly reasonable to suspend elections during war time as the UK did during World War II."
Mr Zelenskyy, who was elected as president of Ukraine in May 2019, postponed elections which were previously scheduled to go ahead in 2024 after martial law was put in place across the country.
