Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is seeking support from U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer in his country's fight against Russia's invasion. The talks between the two leaders in London on Tuesday comes as the Iran war revives Russia’s ailing economy through increased oil revenue, robs U.S.-brokered talks on ending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine of momentum, and could soon limit Kyiv’s access to vital Western air defense systems that are needed in the Middle East. Starmer says, “We can’t lose focus on what’s going on in Ukraine and the need for our support.” NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte was also expected to attend the talks.
