Friday’s trip comes as PM stresses Britain’s continued backing for Kyiv before meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskiy

The UK prime minister, Rishi Sunak, is visiting Ukraine on Friday to meet his counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, as the UK announced it would provide further military aid to the country over the coming year.

The UK has been one of Kyiv’s staunchest supporters since Russia’s invasion and Sunak said Britain would boost its support in the next financial year to £2.5bn, an increase of £200m on the previous two years.

    It’s election year here too. It’s just that one of our parties has decided any coppers with the other or compromise on literally anything or even just governing at all means the president gets re-elected and that they’d rather burn the world down than allow that to happen. Also they’re pro Putin

      Yikes.

      This is a parliamentary democracy Vs your style democracy thing. To become prime minister you have to have a majority of representatives be elected to your party. If the house was blocking him and voting down things he’d basically be forced to call an election right away.
