Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was visiting Britain on Monday, as the staunch Ukraine ally promised to provide hundreds more missiles and attack drones in an effort to change the course of the war. The U.K. government confirmed Zelenskyy's arrival early Monday and said he would meet with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at Chequers, the prime minister's country retreat outside London. It's Zelenskyy's second trip to the U.K. since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. It is the fourth European country Zelenskky has visited in recent days - including France, Germany and Italy, seeking more aid as Ukraine prepares a spring offensive to retake territory seized by Russia. Sunak's office said that on Monday Britain will confirm it is giving Ukraine hundreds more air defense missiles, as well as "long-range attack drones" with a range of more than 200 kilometers (120 miles). As Zelenskyy visited European capitals, Russia stepped up attacks across Ukraine with drones and missiles over the weekend. (Associated Press)
