Starmer to Visit Kyiv on One of His Final Foreign Trips

Britain’s outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer will travel to Kyiv on Thursday for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in one of his final foreign visits as UK leader, Downing Street said.

The two will discuss progress in equipping Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion and what allies should focus on next.

Starmer is due to step down on Monday. Andy Burnham is expected to be formally announced as Labour leader on Friday and officially named Britain’s prime minister on Monday.
