The meeting is expected to focus on how allied nations "can further strengthen Ukraine's hand and cripple Russia's ability to continue to wage war," the British government said.https://t.co/9WCr92QWKx
The meeting will center on strengthening Ukraine’s defenses and weakening Russia’s ability to sustain its war, the British government said.
Zelensky’s visit follows a tense Oct. 17 meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, where Kyiv failed to secure Tomahawk missiles.
In response, the White House canceled Trump’s planned summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest and imposed new sanctions on Russia’s top oil firms, signaling Washington’s tougher stance toward Moscow.

The London summit gathers leaders from 26 nations, though doubts persist about the coalition’s capacity to deploy troops or coordinate aid.
Zelensky’s London stop follows meetings in Brussels and Sweden, part of a diplomatic push for energy and military support as Russia ramps up attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure.
