< p _ngcontent-sc100="" class="news-annotation">Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made his second foreign visit after a full-scale invasion. This time he left for the UK, where he was warmly welcomed.
ThisChannel 24 was told by the European correspondent of Voice of America Bogdan Tsyupin. According to him, virtually the entire British society supports aid for Ukraine.
An interesting detail from the British Parliament
Qiuping noticed an interesting detail that happened today in the British Parliament. In response to the statement of the leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak about the visit of Volodymyr Zelensky, the leader of the opposition Labor Party Kir Starmer took the floor.
He spoke on behalf of the party and, obviously , on behalf of the voters, demanding further assistance from the British government for Ukraine. For Ukraine to defend its independence and defeat the invaders,” Tsyupin noted.
It is very significant that not only representatives of the government, but also opposition politicians are clearly convinced that it is necessary to continue helping Ukraine. According to Tsyupin, almost the entire British society supports the government's policy of supporting Ukraine.
It is clear that, as in every democratic country, there are people who will say the opposite or will argue over nuances. But politics and important decisions are born in disputes.
How King Charles reacted to Zelensky's visit
Qiuping recalled that representatives of the British monarchy do not have government powers and do not express their political views.
However, the actions of King Charles clearly indicate that he and other representatives of the monarchy fully support Ukraine. For example, recently Charles visited the Ukrainian church in London and communicated with refugees.
We can say with absolute certainty … Despite the fact that the king has no right to express political views and opinions. But when it comes to Ukraine, his position is unambiguously on the side of Ukraine. On the side of supporting the Ukrainians,” Tsyupin noted.
Zelensky visited the UK
- During his speech to the British Parliament, Volodymyr Zelensky asked for combat aircraft for Ukraine. They are needed to strengthen the defense of the Ukrainian skies.
- Subsequently, Rishi Sunak asked Defense Secretary Ben Wallace to investigate what aircraft the UK could transfer to Ukraine.
- Despite such a quick reaction, the Prime Minister's spokesman noted that it would be a “long term solution”.
