Ukrainian president Vladimir zelennsky will start an official visit to the UK on Wednesday for a meeting with the UK official as it is announced today.
the reason for the current visit is to discuss the critical condition in Ukraine after the advance of the Russian troop.
also to make a new deal for weapons as the UK consider the most one who sent weapons to Ukraine during the current war after the Russian invasion

UK media said that Zelenskyy’s plane landed at London Stansted airport north of the U.K. capital on a Royal Air Force plane.
As well he will hold talks with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, address Parliament, and meet with U.K. military chiefs, while Buckingham Palace announced that the Ukrainian president will also meet with King Charles III during his visit.

The U.K. is one of the biggest military supporters of Ukraine and has sent the country more than 2 billion pounds ($2.5 billion) in weapons and equipment.

The visit comes as Sunak announced that Britain will train Ukrainian pilots on “NATO-standard fighter jets.” Ukraine has urged its allies to send jets, though the U.K. says it’s not practical to provide the Ukrainian military with British warplanes.

More than 10,000 Ukrainian troops have also been trained at bases in the U.K., some on the Challenger 2 tanks that Britain is sending.

“I am proud that today we will expand that training from soldiers to marines and fighter jet pilots, ensuring Ukraine has a military able to defend its interests well into the future,” Sunak said. “It also underlines our commitment to not just provide military equipment for the short term, but a long-term pledge to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine for years to come.”

Zelenskyy may be seeking Western pledges of more advanced weapons before potential spring offensives by both Russia and Ukraine.

In Brussels, there were increasing expectations that the Ukrainian leader might also make his first visit to European Union institutions since the war began.
