British Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday and expressed his support for Ukraine's leader. "The Prime Minister spoke to President Zelensky this evening and stressed the need for everyone to work together," a statement issued by Starmer's office after the call said. "The Prime Minister expressed his support for President Zelensky as Ukraine's democratically elected leader and said that it was perfectly reasonable to suspend elections during war time as the UK did during World War II." Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump denounced Zelenskiy as "a dictator without elections" and said he had better move fast to secure a peace or he would have no country left. The statement from Starmer's office did not directly refer to Trump's comments.
