On March 1, 2025, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who reaffirmed support for Ukraine and is hosting a summit to discuss ending the war. This followed a day of tension at the White House, where a planned deal between Zelenskyy and the U.S. was canceled after a heated exchange. Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to Starmer and was scheduled to meet King Charles III. Starmer had communicated with both leaders after the incident, and Zelenskyy later thanked the U.K. on social media.
