After Trump clash, Ukraine's Zelenskiy gets warm UK welcome before European summit

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer greeted President Volodymyr Zelenskiy with a warm embrace on Saturday after the Ukrainian leader flew to London for talks following his clash at the White House with U.S. President Donald Trump.

In an extraordinary Oval Office meeting on Friday, Trump threatened to withdraw support for Ukraine, three years after Russia invaded its smaller neighbour.

French President Emmanuel Macron spoke to Zelenskiy and Trump on Saturday and called for calm in an interview following Friday's White House clash.

In London, a crowd cheered as Zelenskiy arrived for talks with Starmer at his Downing Street office before a summit of European leaders that the Ukrainian president will attend on Sunday to discuss a peace plan for Ukraine.

I hope you heard some of that cheering in the street.
