Volodymr Zelensky dodged questions about Donald Trump as he was warmly embraced by Sir Keir Starmer outside of No 10 on Saturday afternoon. The Ukrainian President was asked by reporters
outside Downing Street if he could get the US president back on side after the two leaders had a heated clash in the Oval Office on Friday.
But the Ukrainian didn't acknowledge the question and shared a hug with the Prime Minister before entering No 10. Sir Keir, who usually stands at the doorstep of No 10, walked towards Mr
Zelensky to meet him as he arrived, and they approached the front door together after exchanging warm words. A group of pro-Ukrainian demonstrators could be seen outside the gates of the
street, and were heard to cheer as Mr Zelensky’s convoy drove by.

He said he saw "a lot of people" outside Downing Street and thanked the UK for its support.
Mr Zelensky wore a black long-sleeved shirt featuring the coat of arms of Ukraine, a golden trident, and black cargo trousers.
He faced criticism in the White House for not wearing a suit when he met US President Donald Trump.
Sir Keir told the Ukrainian President he has “full backing across the United Kingdom” and that Britain stands with Ukraine “for as long as it may take”.

Mr Zelensky told the Prime Minister "we count on your support".
The scenes were very different to those 24 hours earlier in the Oval Office where Mr Zelensky, Mr Trump and US Vice President JD Vance had a fierce exchange of words.
Mr Trump told the Ukrainian President he doesn't "have the cards right now" and is "gambling with World War Three".
The King will meet Mr Zelensky on Sunday as part of his UK visit which comes a day before Sir Keir hosts a summit of European leaders in Downing Street to discuss bringing the war between
Ukraine and Russia to an end.
