He was greeted by the prime minister at Stansted Airport after landing in an RAF plane just before 10.30am on Wednesday for his first visit to the UK since Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year.

Shortly after Mr Zelenskyy landed, the UK announced further Russian sanctions, including against six entities providing military equipment, such as drones, to Russia, and eight individuals and one entity connected to "nefarious financial networks" helping maintain "wealth and power amongst Kremlin elites", the government said.

"Since 2014, the UK has provided vital training to Ukrainian forces, allowing them to defend their country, protect their sovereignty and fight for their territory.

"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.

"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."
