The prime minister met with President Volodymyr Zelensky in the capital today.

Downing Street is expected to reveal further details on the meeting shortly.

The prime minister had been expected to appear at a Tory conference in Doncaster today, but cancelled to make the trip to Kyiv instead.

‘Glad to see our country’s great friend Boris Johnson in Kyiv again.’
