The UK will provide Ukraine with air defence missiles and attack drones, Downing Street announced as Volodymyr Zelensky met Rishi Sunak at Chequers.

In the latest leg of the Ukrainian president’s tour of western allies, Mr Zelensky said the two leaders would have “substantive negotiations” on the response to Russia’s invasion.

Downing Street said the Prime Minister would welcome Mr Zelensky to the country retreat in Buckinghamshire as the UK continues “sustaining our support” for the war-torn country.

Mr Zelensky is the first world leader Mr Sunak has hosted at his grace-and-favour country residence.

It follows meetings in Paris, Berlin and Rome and comes three months after Mr Zelensky’s first trip to London since the start of the war.
