British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Wednesday expressed his support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Starmer made this statement during a phone call with Zelensky on Wednesday.
This was contained in a statement issued by Starmer’s office after the call.
“The Prime Minister spoke to President Zelensky this evening and stressed the need for everyone to work together.
“The Prime Minister expressed his support for President Zelensky as Ukraine’s democratically elected leader and said that it was perfectly reasonable to suspend elections during wartime, as the UK did during World War II,” the statement read.
Media Talk Africa earlier reported that US President Donald Trump denounced Zelenskyy as a dictator without elections and warned that he had better act quickly to secure peace or risk losing his country entirely.
The statement from Starmer’s office did not directly address Trump’s comments.
“The Prime Minister reiterated his support for US-led efforts to secure a lasting peace in Ukraine that would deter Russia from any future aggression,” the statement added.
