Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in the UK for talks with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. This follows earlier reports of a meeting with Roman Abramovich and developments at the Zaporizhzh
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in the United Kingdom on Sunday for bilateral discussions with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. He is also scheduled to participate in an "E3 plus Ukraine" meeting alongside Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. This visit follows earlier reports that President Zelenskyy had invited Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich to Kyiv last month to relay a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding a potential personal meeting. Separately, external power to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was restored on Saturday, June 6, after a 15-hour outage, marking the 18th such incident. Emergency diesel generators maintained cooling during the disruption. Additionally, Russian forces reportedly attacked two civilian search-and-rescue vessels on a humanitarian mission in Ukraine's maritime corridor, resulting in casualties, with Ukrainian naval forces evacuating the injured.
