Ukraine's Zelenskyy touches down in the UK and embraces Sunak ahead of meeting Charles and addressing Parliament
Mr Zelenskyy will meet with King Charles, address MPs and meet his country's troops that are preparing to take on Russia by practising within Britain.
It comes as the UK said it will begin training pilots and marines for Ukraine, on top of the soldiers it is already teaching. A smiling President Zelenskyy was pictured embracing Rishi Sunak after touching down, having flown here via C17. Mr Sunak said: "President Zelenskyy's visit to the UK is a testament to his country's courage, determination and fight, and a testament to the unbreakable friendship between our two countries.
"Since 2014, the UK has provided vital training to Ukrainian forces, allowing them to defend their country, protect their sovereignty and fight for their territory.
