Following an address to MPs at the Houses of Parliament and meeting with King Charles III, the war leader visited Lulworth camp, where Ukrainian soldiers are being trained in use of the Challenger 2 tanks.

Flanked by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Mr Zelensky presented medals to some of the troops who will soon be sent to the frontline, with tanks provided by the UK.
