Drone Attack Near Kyiv During Starmer’s Visit Highlights Ukraine’s Ongoing Struggle
During Sir Keir Starmer’s Kyiv visit, a drone attack near the presidential palace underscored the ongoing threat faced by Ukraine. Discussions between Starmer and President Zelenskyy focused on continued UK support, including a new air defense system and increased troop training. While Starmer pledged long-term commitment and open consideration of future troop deployments, Zelenskyy highlighted challenges in securing NATO membership, particularly given potential shifts in US policy under a Trump administration. The visit served as a strong show of support amid ongoing conflict and uncertainty surrounding future peace negotiations.
