Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at Downing Street on Thursday for high-level discussions with European leaders about Ukraine's ongoing defense needs.

The meeting included British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The leaders focused their talks on air defense capabilities amid what officials described as continued Russian military pressure.

The gathering represents part of ongoing diplomatic efforts by European allies to coordinate support for Ukraine. The timing of the meeting comes as Ukraine continues to seek enhanced air defense systems to protect against aerial attacks.

Details about specific commitments or agreements reached during the talks were not immediately available. The meeting reflects continued high-level engagement between Ukraine and its European partners on security matters.

Zelensky's visit to London is part of his broader diplomatic outreach to maintain international support for Ukraine's defense efforts. The Ukrainian leader has regularly traveled to meet with allied leaders since the conflict began.
