What a difference 24 hours makes: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in London to meet with PM Keir Starmer and King Charles.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy met British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Saturday and will visit King Charles on Sunday.

The Starmer meeting at Downing Street was a show of support for the Ukrainian leader ,who was publicly berated by U.S. President Donald Trump  in front of the world's media at the White House.

Zelenskyy flew into Britain from the United States on Saturday morning for a wider summit of European leaders on Sunday to discuss a peace plan for Ukraine.

After Starmer said he was "very, very welcome" Zelenskyy said he "saw a lot of people" on his way in and wanted to thank the UK for its support.

"I'm very happy that His Majesty the King accepted my meeting tomorrow, and thankful that you organised such a great summit for tomorrow," he said, adding that Ukraine was happy to have such partners.

Britain's Sun newspaper said the meeting with the king would take place at the monarch's Sandringham estate in eastern England.
