Details: Zelenskyy said he started his morning in Florida – where the meeting with Trump is due to take place later – with a conversation with Starmer.

"We discussed preparations for the meeting with President Trump, as well as all our contacts with European partners," he noted.

Zelenskyy also briefed the UK prime minister on the situation on the battlefield and the aftermath of Russian strikes.
