After Turbulent Relations with Trump, Zelensky Welcomed Warmly by UK’s New PM Keir Starmer

5 Min Read 523.9k Views

London, July 2024 — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky received a robust show of solidarity from British Prime Minister Keir Starmer during a high-profile visit to London this week, marking a stark contrast to the contentious relationship Zelensky faced during Donald Trump’s tenure in the White House. The meeting, held at 10 Downing Street, underscored a strategic realignment of Western support for Ukraine amid its ongoing war with Russia, with Starmer’s Labour government signaling a renewed commitment to Kyiv’s defense and European security.

A Shift in Diplomatic Winds
Zelensky’s visit to the UK, his first since Starmer assumed office earlier this month, was laden with symbolism. The two leaders emphasized a “shared vision” for Ukraine’s future, with Starmer pledging additional military aid, including artillery systems and drones, and vowing to fast-track bilateral security agreements. “The UK stands unwaveringly with Ukraine in its fight for freedom,” Starmer declared during a joint press conference. “Our support is not just about defense, but about building a Ukraine that is sovereign, prosperous, and integrated into Euro-Atlantic institutions.”

The warm reception marked a dramatic turnaround for Zelensky, who faced relentless pressure during Trump’s presidency (2017–2021). Though not literally “expelled,” Zelensky’s interactions with Trump were defined by friction, most notably during the 2019 impeachment scandal, when Trump withheld $391 million in military aid to Ukraine while pressuring Zelensky to investigate political rival Joe Biden. The incident, which Trump dismissed as a “perfect call,” strained U.S.-Ukraine relations and left Kyiv uncertain of Washington’s backing.

From Trump’s Shadow to Starmer’s Spotlight
Analysts suggest Zelensky’s London visit reflects a broader geopolitical pivot. With Trump’s potential return to the White House in 2025 looming—and his continued skepticism of aid to Ukraine—European allies like the UK are positioning themselves as bulwarks of support. “The UK under Starmer is sending a clear message: Regardless of U.S. political shifts, Europe will not abandon Ukraine,” said Sophia Mercer, a senior fellow at Chatham House.

Starmer, a staunch multilateralist, has criticized the Trump-era “America First” approach, advocating instead for cohesive NATO and EU responses to Russian aggression. His government has committed to maintaining the UK’s role as Ukraine’s second-largest military donor, after the U.S., with over £7.1 billion ($9 billion) provided since 2022. Downing Street also announced plans to host a Ukraine recovery conference in 2025, focusing on infrastructure and energy grid rebuilding.

A Partnership Reinvigorated
Zelensky praised Starmer’s “decisive leadership,” noting the UK’s early provision of lethal aid in 2022 as a turning point in the war. “In our darkest hours, Britain stood by us,” he said. “Today, we are not just allies—we are friends.” The Ukrainian leader also highlighted collaborations on cybersecurity and intelligence sharing, areas where the UK has excelled in countering Russian disinformation.

The visit carried emotional weight, with Zelensky presenting Starmer with a Ukrainian flag signed by soldiers on the front lines—a gesture reminiscent of his 2022 address to Parliament, where he received a standing ovation. This time, however, the setting was intimate, reflecting Starmer’s pragmatic style.

Challenges Ahead
Despite the optimism, challenges persist. The UK’s economic constraints, compounded by post-Brexit struggles, could limit long-term aid. Meanwhile, Trump’s rhetoric—including his controversial claim to “end the war in 24 hours” by cutting deals with Russia—casts a shadow over future U.S. support.

Starmer, however, remains resolute. “This is not merely a regional conflict,” he asserted. “It’s a battle for democratic values. Retreat is not an option.”

As Zelensky departed London, the message was clear: As political tides shift in Washington, the UK under Starmer aims to anchor Ukraine’s hopes—and Europe’s security—in uncertain times.
