The UK Prime Minister welcomed Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Downing Street on the afternoon of 14 October 2026, according to a press release from the Prime Minister's Office, 10 Downing Street. The two leaders began by discussing their call the previous Saturday and Russia's attacks on civilians and energy infrastructure since President Trump called for an energy ceasefire. They underlined their view that Russia had no interest in peace.
The Prime Minister set out the UK's latest package of Lightweight Multirole Missiles, presented as part of efforts by Ukraine's allies to step up support, particularly against jet-powered drones. He said the UK would continue developing military solutions for use on the battlefield in Ukraine, including retrofitting British capability onto equipment gifted by other partners. On long-range missiles, the leaders discussed how the UK could accelerate defensive support ahead of the winter, and the Prime Minister said the UK would keep up diplomatic efforts to support international supplies of defensive equipment.
The release said both leaders looked forward to speaking again soon.
