President Volodymyr Zelenskiy arrived in London for talks with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and NATO chief Mark Rutte on Thursday, a boost for Ukraine after a summit of its main backers was cancelled at a difficult moment in its fight against Russia.

General Mark Rutte has visited Ukraine in his first official trip since taking office and pledging continued support for Kyiv.

The new leader of NATO, former Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte, pledged on Tuesday to continue leading the alliance in its support of Ukraine and called out China as an "enabler" of Russia in its invasion.
